Title: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 24 March 2013, 13:57:02
forum review page for cyanspore and psilocybe cyanescens, trip reports and anything else that can help others decide what a proper dose is

the psilocybe cyanescens page is here

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/41b3079fd8

1 gram per person is usually recommended at least for the first time. Expecting some reviews to start in a couple of days after free samples sent out

I got my first feedback from the free samples a few hours ago, but the free sample page is sold out and offline. But it is in my profile at least...

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/79c30e564a

Yay, my very first feedback  > 5 of 5    Package arrived within three days as ordered. Packaging is nice and stealthy. This new seller is the real deal :). Cannot wait to test.


I did ask him to post here too, hopefully when he tries it out

Just received 6 grams of psilocybe cyanescens from Cyanspore. 3 days in transit and very stealthy. Product was slightly overweight. I am doing these this weekend and will post my trip review of a 2 gram dose and a less experience friends 1 gram dose. I can not wait.

thank you very much stewpudaso. 2 grams should be pretty decent if you have experience. Not really any hurry, I'm just glad people are getting it and now there's some more feedback in my profile (from the free samples). I understand people need to set aside time for these and that can take time

a basic rule of thumb is once the seal is broken on the vacuum pack, it should be eaten within a month. The mushrooms are stored in tight vacuum Ball mason jars so they stay fresh all year. Exposure to oxygen can slowly degrade the active psilocybin inside the mushroom so that if it's just stored in a bag with no vacuum, it will degrade maybe 50% over the course of 6 months, so it's a long slow process of losing potency

 But if it stays in vacuum, like in the vacuum bag used for delivery it will last much longer. These mushrooms are transferred directly from one vacuum to another after grinding down to powder

Anyway, enjoy the trip and basically this is the first time these mushrooms have gone beyond the local scene. It's almost unknown outside the west coast, so it'll be great to see how it compares with the more common cubensis

and for your reading pleasure, here's a bunch of photos people posted on the scientific website Mushroom Observer. It's well known on the west coast among us hunters

Well, first things first... WOW.  I got the same effect from 1g of the cyans as I would have 3g cubensis. I was really surprised at how little I needed in order to get have a nice trip. Cyanspore, you are awesome! This is the epitome of SR, being able to experience things like this that otherwise would have been quite intangible.

Around 6:30p, 9 capsules of this wonderful fungi... down the hatch. Now this is the first time I have ever had "powdered" mushrooms and the stomach discomfort that I expected, I never felt. It took about 30 minutes for the body load to start kicking in. After about an hour, slight visuals such as lights getting brighter and bigger were coming into play. Now, after an hour and a half or so the I had the full fledged feeling of "I'm on mushrooms" lol. Now, 1g of this is not so much that you will have walls running or faces melting, but it is enough to make the room shift and catch tracers off of everything. I would imagine 2g of this would put me in the perfect spot for great visuals. The body load during this whole time was great, from fingers to toes. A feeling of peace and tranquility is all that came from this trip, but this differs by the user, your environment, and what mind state you are in before and during the trip. 1g provided a very easily manipulated trip for me that as I said earlier would have taken at least 2.5-3g of cubes to provide.

Cyanspore is the real deal and I have to say that I greatly appreciate the experience and service he/she has provided. With the service, stealth, and honesty that Cyan shows, everyone should feel comfortable with this vendor. Give them a chance and you will not regret it. Cyan, I will be in contact soon. 8)

this is great, my first independent review of the actual trip. You can see why we recommend 1 gram for beginners. Sometimes it can be too much for beginners and we don't want to scare people off psychedelics. After the first time, you know where you stand with it so it's entirely up to you how much you can take

usually with experienced people I don't need to be totally strict by weight and can put in a little more. I won't be running out any time soon and I'm pretty sure I can handle orders all the way through summer until the season starts again in November. Unless it becomes a total madhouse with orders, but we'll see

For me it's very cool to be able to bring it outside the local area. It's not even well known around the west coast except for hunters. Even out here on the West Coast it's considered an exotic, so to be able to get it beyond this area gets more people aware of the name psilocybe cyanescens and it means a lot to us hunters

It's a very rare and special thing, and it grows wild out here in wood chip landscaping. It's the gourmet wild Chanterelle to the store bought button mushroom (cubensis)

I used to hunt chanterelles for a living a long time ago in Oregon. To this day they still cannot be grown commercially, just like cyanescens and must be hunted in the wild, just like cyanescens. Oh the stories I can tell you about how the pickers were at the mercy of greedy roadside buyers (middle men). This is a big reason why Silk Road exists in the first place...Think about it

Yesterday was absolutely incredible, and I only have Cyanspore and his/her cyanescens to thank. I had ordered a free sample as soon as they offered them. Within three days a wonderfully inconspicuous package arrived in my mailbox. Upon cracking open the moisture barrier bag and having that unique scent hit my nostrils I knew Cyanspore was the real deal.

I may have tried the entire gram myself, but an old friend was in town and I wanted to share the experience. I mixed the mushroom powder into a glass of orange juice which was then split and hastily drunk down by both of us. Interestingly, the powder tasted almost exactly as it smelled. We then left to walk along the trees as we waited to come up.

The effects were great. Light was becoming much brighter. Trees began to glow as sunlight shined down into their leaves, and our bodies began to do the same. Our conversation became a back and forth giggling match as a shared feeling of euphoria swept over our minds. The body high was phenomenal. I felt as if I had slipped into a hot tub all the way up to my neck. We couldn’t help running around the trees with the energy the mushroom had provided us. My friend said that he felt like a child again. I smiled.

The trip lasted around 4-5 hours. I’m really amazed that we got these effects from half a gram. Cyanspore isn’t joking about the potency. I intend to order three grams in the future to split in order to have a more visually intensive trip. I’m very thankful to be one of the first to test these wonderful mushrooms. Cyanspore provides an amazing service, and deserves your attention :).

thank you very much, Openhearts. This means a lot to me as I'm seeing customer response for the first time. For many years I sold via middle men and never got to meet any customers in real life, so Silk Road is a great thing for vendors - hunters direct to customer

And yes it's true that many people will have a decent trip on just 1/2 gram. some people need a little more, so 1 gram has become something of a standard starting point

the smell is different than your normal cubensis mushrooms because it is a different species. Psilocybe cyanescens grows in wood chips, not cow shit like cubensis. So cyanescens smells a little more like normal mushrooms than cubensis. They also don't taste as bad as cubensis and usually don't give people upset stomach like cubensis does either

Great stuff and thanks for the responses so far. I love hunting these mushrooms and would like nothing better than to do it for a living and if it's possible to do it, I can do it for many years to come.

psilocybe cyanescens is always expanding in the wild. It's not going away any time soon  ;)

btw, the first of the international orders arrived - feedback, 5 days to UK, not too bad

Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 29 March 2013, 04:17:30
psilocybe arcana is actually related to psilocybe cyanescens. They are both cool weather wood loving species and arcana is like the european equivelant of cyanescens. It's a little different in Europe because they grow more out of wood logs in the forest than wood chips, but that probably because there isn't as much wood chipping as there is out west

but yeah they are very similar and actually considered part of the cyanescens complex, which includes, p allenii, p azurescens (USA), and p arcana (europe), and p subaeruginosa in south Australia, Melbourne area and new Zealand where the season is just starting now

it's a global species complex, but only in cooler temperate regions

ironically, the few types that are stronger when fresh than cyanescens, like p azurescens, seem to lose their potency faster under long term dried storage, so after a few months it become more like cyanescens again. Real cyanescens and it's sister species p allenii both retain a higher percentage of actives for at least two years after drying if kept in tight vacuum

Very interested in trying mushrooms....
Would prefer to grow my own though.
Unfortunately,  there isnt a single vendor that would ship a spore print internationally.

Do you plan on selling spore prints any time in the future?
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 30 March 2013, 05:44:31
yes, absolutley I can do spore prints, both p allenii and p cyanescens, but not until the season starts again in November

you gotta understand tho, it isn't as easy as growing cubensis indoors. There is plenty of documentation on cultivating p cyanescens, but you're not going to do it indoors. Instead, you're going to grow culture, then transfer it to a wood chip based substrate, like your back yard and do it out doors and wait for the temperature to drop in Autum, and then  you might get lucky and get a few fruits the first year. They don't fruit as fast as cubensis either. Cubensis can fruit as fast as three days. Cyanescens takes two weeks and that's because of the tempurature difference.Cubensis must be faster or it would dry out in the middle of fruiting if it went on for 2 weeks at those higher temps


Cultivation can and has been done many times successfully with p allenii, p cyanescens, and p azuresecens. But it takes time, and patience. It likely won;t happen much the first year, and maybe the second year you get more. It's usually enough for personal use, at least for a few months

but for pros like me, the only way to get enough quantity beyond personal use, is to become a pro hunter in the wild, because many of my secret spots have been developed over 30 years via spreading spores. There are many amateur hunters out there. Sometimes they find one of my secret  spots in the wild. THAT is the nature of hunting. What most of them don't know is that by the very act of picking them live in the wild, they become carriers, because the spores attach to everything. Your hair, you clothes, your skin, you eyebrows and it takes weeks to wash it off, so everywhere you go you spread it some more. There are rather amusing stories about this I'll tell you in the future about why it cannot be stopped, and the harder humans try to stop it, the more we spread it

 very few people have any idea of how extensive the network of mycelium really is. It's mind bending, it really is

Not to knock cubensis or anything, but cubensis is cubensis,  and it can be grown and fruited in less than 1 month. Not so with the northen cyanescens complex. Neh, the northern cyanescens complex takes much much longer, but it's worth it if you're patient enough

YAY!!!!

I am not concerned about the difficulty or time required to grow it.
Shrooms grow all over the forests in the south of my country from june onwards till around october.
I believe these to be cubensis variety though. Unfortunately, i do not have a hook up. Two sources didnt work out, sadly

I will wait till november, no problem.
In the meantime, i will get some coins ready to sample the final product first.

I really love vendors who know their psychedelics.
cheers.

dude, these are NOT cubensis, and they will NOT grow in your area in the summer time. Trust me on this, I can send you a spore print and it's guaranteed to fail in your area. You can grow mycelium for awhile, but you'll never get more than a couple of scraggly little pathetic specimens out of it


do your research, learn something..educate yourself...read a little...It's not a secret

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cyanescens

this species complex is well mapped out in the northern hemisphere and if you're not in that region, which you aren't, you're not going to grow it without massive amounts of water or electricity for cooling, or both..It won;t work...don't bother

think of it another way...If  it was that easy, dont you think there would be more cyanescens sellers than there are cubensis sellers on the market?..hmm??..think about it

YAY!!!!

Actually tried this seller out on BMR I've done shrooms numerous times, but these by far the most euphoric and visual aided shrooms that I have ever taken! Instead of a more active high it was a sit down and relax, feel amazing and enjoy the lights kinda trip.All I could say during the trip was how much different and badass it was compared to any other trip. Placing a order tom for 2, thanks cyanspore
Btw outstanding customer service delivery and good packaging

Just tried .2 grams for subtle effects. I took a long walk, really enjoyed it. Everything looked amazing outside, felt really nice to just walk around. I combined with cannabis. Next time, I would try a higher dose.
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 30 March 2013, 23:28:13
I think that might be the lowest dose I've heard of, .2 grams. That's like barely 1 baby mushroom, like a pin, You could stretch a gram out 5 times that way. I used to do tiny amounts like that myself. That low amount you don't build up much of a tolerance and you can still do most normal things

If you take a whole gram, then you might build up a little tolerance. Once a week is recommended for 1 gram and above

maybe psychedelic people are just better quality  :)

here's a nice photo of a patch out in the wild. Over 50 grams dried there. Over 100 if they were left alone to fully mature

Vendor: cyanspore
Product    Psilocybe cyanescens - 1 gram - very potent
Delivery: 4 days to UK - very impressed with that.
External stealth: Excelent
Internal stealth: None
Packaging: Vacuum and heat sealed in a manor that arises no suspicion upon external examination.
Product: Fine powder, slightly overweight. I mixed the g in some chocolate and consumed on an empty stomach. Brilliant organic trip, felt like more than a g of liberty caps would do.
Communication: Quick, informative and generally a pleasure.
Conclusion: I would not hesitate to recommend this vendor to anyone. They have experience with mushrooms and offer an organic product they forage for and sell for a reasonable price. Stealth adequate for delivery to countries without Nazi customs officers.
Keep up the good work!

yes, it's really important to get feedback like this on dosage amounts from independent people. Especially since this is not a common species on the market like cubensis is

Only some people have told me 1 gram is not enough, and those people usually have been doing other chemicals in the psychedelic family recently and likely have built up some tolerance

so yeah, we're sticking with 1 gram recommended dosage for the first time, or even .5 gram for beginners for a more mild and comfortable trip. You could eat 10 grams or more safely and not have any physical ill effects whatsoever, but a potent psychedelic like this can be downright scary for people that aren't used to it. It's usually the first part, the come up, that is the scariest part for most people and after a couple hours it becomes really nice. For beginners that can be scary because you don't know when it will level out, or how long it will take and it just keeps getting stronger and stronger. But eventually it does level out and become enjoyable for most people

That's the important thing. We don't want to scare people out of their wits the first time they try it. So 1 gram or less for beginners, please. After the first time, you will know how much is right for you. Some people are more comfortable with less, some people like it stronger, so 1 gram is just a starting point, something like an average based on experience with different people

btw, orders are skyrocketing. I believe I made #3 top shroom vendor on SR in less than 3 weeks  :o

First magic mushroom depression trial hits stumbling block

By Kate Kelland

LONDON | Sat Apr 6, 2013 7:18pm EDT


(Reuters) - The world's first clinical trial designed to explore using a hallucinogen from magic mushrooms to treat people with depression has stalled because of British and European rules on the use of illegal drugs in research.

David Nutt, president of the British Neuroscience Association and professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, said he had been granted an ethical green light and funding for the trial, but regulations were blocking it.

"We live in a world of insanity in terms of regulating drugs," he told a neuroscience conference in London on Sunday.

He has previously conducted small experiments on healthy volunteers and found that psilocybin, the psychedelic ingredient in magic mushrooms, has the potential to alleviate severe forms of depression in people who don't respond to other treatments.

Following these promising early results he was awarded a 550,000 pounds ($844,000) grant from the UK's Medical Research Council to conduct a full clinical trial in patients.

But psilocybin is illegal in Britain, and under the United Nations 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances it is classified as a Schedule 1 drug - one that has a high potential for abuse and no recognized medical use.

This, Nutt explained, means scientists need a special license to use magic mushrooms for trials in Britain, and the manufacture of a synthetic form of psilocybin for use in patients is tightly controlled by European Union regulations.

Together, this has meant he has so far been unable to find a company able to make and supply the drug for his trial, he said.

"Finding companies who could manufacture the drug and who are prepared to go through the regulatory hoops to get the license, which can take up to a year and triple the price, is proving very difficult," he said.

Nutt said regulatory authorities have a "primitive, old-fashioned attitude that Schedule 1 drugs could never have therapeutic potential", despite the fact that his research and the work done by other teams suggests such drugs may help treat some patients with psychiatric disorders.

Psilocybin - or "magic" - mushrooms grow naturally around the world and have been widely used since ancient times for religious rites and also for recreation.

Researchers in the United States have seen positive results in trials using MDMA, a pure form of the party drug ecstasy, in treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

"What we are trying to do is to tap into the reservoir of under-researched illegal drugs to see if we can find new and beneficial uses for them in people whose lives are often severely affected by illnesses such as depression," Nutt said.

The proposed trial would involve 60 patients with depression who have failed two previous treatments.

During two or three controlled sessions with a therapist, half would be given a synthetic form of psilocybin, and the other 30 a placebo. They would have guided talking therapy to explore negative thinking and issues troubling them, and doctors would follow them up for at least a year.

Nutt secured ethical approval for the trial in March.

In previous research, Nutt found that when healthy volunteers were injected with psilocybin, the drug switched off a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex, which is known to be overactive in people with depression.

"Even in normal people, the more that part of the brain was switched off under the influence of the drug, the better they felt two weeks later. So there was a relationship between that transient switching off of the brain circuit and their subsequent mood,", he said. "This is the basis on which we want to run the trial."

Cyanspore,

Thanks so much for the magical experience this early morning. I tripped quite hard, much more than I was expecting. I mixed half of what you sent me in my sample pack (I don't have my scale with me, so I assume that was a half a gram? It looked like there was probably more than a gram in the entire pack but I dunno. Either way, I ate half of what I got, whatever that amount was. I mixed it with some peanut butter and it didn't even have a bad taste. I didn't mind it at all. The effects lasted about 4-5 hours and there were some moments in the beginning where I was like "damn I'm on shrooms" but it was overall very enjoyable. I might get around to writing a more detailed trip report later but I feel like they make me look silly. We'll see. Either way, thank you so much for the experience and I definitely plan to order some more for the summer.

Cheers,
HEATFan

you're welcome and I am really glad to get feedback and to be able to get it beyond the locals here for the first time

It could have been over a gram. usually I'll do something like 1.2 grams, maybe 1.4 sometimes...It's actually because the mushrooms themselves are different sizes so I take a mushroom out or put one in until it gets close, but not under

It's a little loose in the beginning, I'm still in sort of a promotional phase, but I think I need to start charging for postage soon. That stuff adds up after awhile

Most people around the world have only had cubensis in their lives. It's long past due to change that  ;D

update, I woke up this morning with 15 more orders overnight in 12 hours. ,This is getting too much too fast now and I'm just trying to slow it down a little bit. I've raised prices from $10.50/gram to $12/gram and now charge $.50 for domestic postage an $1.50 for worldwide

15 orders a day is about the max I can handle and still have them all summer I think, although it's too early to tell right now. The stock is still fine, but I just need to slow it down a little bit

I won't be raising prices anymore for quite awhile, possibly much later in July/August/September if stock gets too low. If I can't slow it down with the new prices, I will have to go in vacation mode, off again and on again. Something like 2 days off, 2 days on, or whatever works, but I'm definitely not going away

I have to say the demand has far exceeded my wildest expectations. It's over 100 sales now in just the first 3 weeks, and even more surprising, not a single lost package.

Before i started here, I was expecting some percentage of lost packages/escrow dispute  based on other vendors experience and scamming customers/whatever, and without any tracking I expected some loss

But nope, you people have been totally honest, I mean like 100%, and it's shocking. Every single escrow so far has been released with zero disputes, 100% feedback. The whole experience has been way beyond anything I expected..

And because of that I am doing everything I can to keep prices reasonable, because these mushrooms are really for the people. They grow wild around populated areas, for free. What you are paying for is not the mushrooms, but the labor/hours that goes into it for gathering, storage, packaging,

basically, the prices I'm getting now is far better than what I got before in real life. It's a long story, but I had to go through middle men to maintain my privacy in real life. In exchange for that I was relegated to near indentured servitude for years

Silk Road and it's related Onion sites have changed all that. For the first time you are now able to get it directly from the hunter. I can make more than I made in my previous life and still offer a good deal. That just goes to show you how bad middle men are and how much they take

None of this would be possible without Silk Road and this is really the whole point of Silk Road. It's the same thing with hunters of edible species like chanterelles, matsutake, morels, where websites/Ebay changed everything and you're now able to get those mushroom direct from the hunter at better prices

Anyway, this new price increase to 12/gram is not written in stone. I was already happy with 10/gram and can easily go back. I just need to slow it down a little bit. I'm actually hoping for something like 10 orders a day and not too much higher than that

That's just more manageable and less prone to mistakes on my part

we'll see how it goes and thank you very much, each and every one of you out there. You're all fantastic. It's more than a hunter could have ever hoped for

@cyanspore : I am really tempted to place an order.. Really REALLY tempted. Never done shrooms before. Want the first one to  be as close to perfect as possible.
Unfortunately, i cannot place any orders in the near future, as  my drop location is "occupied" at the moment. Maybe in the first/second week of May.
I am still highly interested in the spores. I will start bugging you for them around november.. ;)

Do you think this particular strain is good for a first time? I plan to do it with a bunch of close friends, all first timers, outdoors, in the night.

Post by: cyanspore on 09 April 2013, 14:20:11
sorry about this..Within one hour of raising prices I get another large order. I'm forced to shut it down and go into vacation mode for a couple of days

All 16 orders will be filled in the next 48 hours. Half today, and half tomorrow, starting with oldest first (6 hours and older) did you ever think you'd see a situation like this on Silk Road?..holy kerbezus!

Anyway, when all the orders are filled, the listing will come back. probably Wednesday or Thursday

Gotta keep this under control, for safety's sake if nothing else

and to answer you Daydreamer, for first timers, it's recommended between .5 and 1 gram per person. This species is just as good as cubensis for fist time trips, it's just more pure than cubensis, so you simply need less. Although each species has somewhat different alkaloid concentrations, it's fairly similar

Nice to see that development and be such a part of it,
cool you include the people so much into this project cyanspore.

this smells more and more and already so much as a legit project,
i'm sure everybody receving this fruit will have the possibility for a great flight.

so, you're doing it exactly right, take your times off, handle the amount that keeps healthy for you,
lets let things rolling the same way they do so good the last weeks here. would be great if it keeps up :)
good vibes cyan, thanks for that!

Hello everyone I'd like to start of by saying I was cyanspore's first customer back when he very first started on BMR before anyone even knew or tried his product. I'm honestly not surprised at the response he is getting and people buying them like crazy, these really are the BEST shrooms in the world. He's an amazing vendor and has an extensive background knowledge on mushroom cultivation and this species in general. My first experience was with 2 grams of this species and it was just absolutely mind blowing. One of the top trips I've had in a while. If you're looking to experience a level 5 trip I wouldn't say any more than 3 and you'll be awe'd the entire time. So with the combination of an awesome species that's really rare to find, fastest domestic shipping I have seen, and a vendor that actually knows what he's doing you just can't go wrong ordering from him. He dedicates his life to the beauty of magic mushrooms to share the experience with everyone he possibly could. I'm a repeat customer and I'm sure you will be one as well once you try his shrooms out! Congrats on the superior spreading on this site and the money you have been making, it's well deserved. All it takes is a quality product and someone who knows what they're doing to make bank here and you are that person! Thanks once again for everything bro it seems like just yesterday I got the first sample that opened my mind but that was over 2 months ago and now you are all grown up expanding everywhere, crazy!

Glad I was able to pick some up before the craze hit, hopefully I will be able to pick up more before stock runs out.

The shipping was incredibly fast, I ordered over the weekend and it showed up Monday. I like the care you put in to packaging, Can't wait to test out a little for my first mushie experience.

Post by: cyanspore on 09 April 2013, 21:24:07
stock won't be running out until late summer, maybe and the season starts in October/November and the whole cycle starts brand new again

it just depends on not letting too much go at one time. I should mention I've had numerous offers to buy ounces, pounds already. All denied. For one thing, it's risky to get rid of that much at one time. For another, it's much better to get small amounts out for the little guy. I'm all for the little guy.

You likely will never see a pound of dried psilocybe cyanescens in one place in your lifetime. Most hunters don't even see that. It just doesn't work that way. It might work that way with cubensis, but not this species. Nope, this species is not easy to get in much more than personal use

it's much better and safer to space it out in smaller packets, that way people can't horde it and it's accessible to more people. Another good reason is it MUST be kept in vacuum from picking and drying to consumption, or they will start losing potency over a period of some months, so even if I could sell the whole thing at once, i wouldn't want to anyway, because people just don't know how to store it properly for the long term

it's better this way...a little at a time. This way people can get some for the summer festivals...yay!

if you look on the wikipedia page, there was a report out of southern UK at a racetrack of a patch of over 100,000 psilocybe cyanescens some years back. That's like a metric ton. It doesn't exist anymore. Only a few people even saw it. Once in a lifetime event. Most patches are much smaller and scattered around different areas. Weather conditions have to be right. It's always a challenge

all orders completed, took the listing out of vacation mode and within 60 seconds got another order before I could put it into stealth mode for another day... :o
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 10 April 2013, 14:42:31
after 9 hours in stealth mode, I got 3 orders. This is much better. The listing is now public again for a few hours at least and I think if it gets too much I can just put it into stealth mode temporarily. This means it's still there you just need to have it bookmarked or know the URL of the listing

Thankfully Silk Road has these features. I noticed mushroomgirl, one of the top shroom vendors on SR seems to be having similar problems and periodically goes offline (stealth mode)


we just need to keep the orders down to a manageable level. It takes time to package it properly and get it out. Supply is fine, but we have to make sure no mistakes are made and care is taken for each order and that takes time. Only so many can be done in one day

thank you again people!...It's still 100% and still great reviews coming in every day ;D

might not be for everybody, but here a sample of stuff I like to listen to while tripping. And believe it or not, this was uploaded via the TOR network so it's completely anonymous upload, but you might want to use another computer/browser to actually download/listen to it

Grateful Dead 1972 European tour from the original box set, direct HDCD to MP3.

 This is a out of order compilation of two sets from Europe '72: Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Holland (5/10/1972) goes like this

"Sugar Magnolia" (Weir, Hunter) > – 7:02
"Not Fade Away" (Petty, Hardin) > – 4:47
"Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" (traditional, arranged by Grateful Dead) > – 8:52
"Bertha" (Garcia, Hunter) – 5:50
"Me and My Uncle" (Phillips) – 3:17
"Mr. Charlie" (McKernan, Hunter) – 3:40
"China Cat Sunflower" (Garcia, Hunter) > – 4:44
"I Know You Rider" (traditional, arranged by Grateful Dead) – 5:16

here's the link. It's over an hour of concert in one single file and it'll only be up there for a month unless people keep downloading it

Been meaning to subscribe to this thread for a few days now but the GD post convinced me it was time.  Love the Europe '72 set - the Hundred Year Hall release is a (nearly) complete show from the German leg of that tour that includes my favorite version of Lovelight they ever recorded appears there - I jammed along to it on my guitar last time I tripped on some PE and had a sublime experience.  Out of order Dead is great because it's their music but I much prefer listening to whole albums and absorbing the flow as well as the individual numbers.  Probably the reason I spend more listening to Dozin' at the Knick instead of the Spring 90 compilation. 

Had planned on placing an order with Cyanspore by now but I tried right before the BTC crash and missed the listing - by the time it came back out the fluctuations were too much for me to feel safe placing an order so I cashed everything back out.  Probably be another week or two before I'm comfortable to put any money back into the system.  Can't wait to try the strain though!
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 12 April 2013, 02:46:39
one of the problems right now with SR is even though the listing is tied to the dollar, it's based on an average exchange rate i think for the day so it doesn't change as fast.

the other problem of course is the wild swing bitcoin is going through and the fact that MT Gox was shut down today. nevertheless, the basic price for a gram is 12 dollars. I can't do much about the exchange rate

This does not seems to be slowing down orders at all. I had to go into stealth again today after just four hours. Stealth slows it down a little and so far so good. It looks like I will have to go into stealth mode every day, or almost stay in stealth mode

the listing is still there and it's in my sig here, it's just not on the Silk Road public area listings. But sometimes I might have to shut it down and go into vacation mode, but I should be able to come back within a day or so

Anyway, some of those jams in the early live shows are great with the Dead. I also have the 73 Winterland box set, and I have one other compilation favorite of the 72 tour yet to upload. Not to say there isn't a ton of other great live tunes and shows out there, but the good ol Grateful Dead is just one of those things...hehe

Just received my Cyanescens today  ;D

Fast Shipping, 3 days across country!

Stealth was great imo. Powder form really helps with this!  That's all I'll say about the packaging.

I'm not trying these shrooms for another 3 weeks (when I'll be camping with all my friends).

Eating 1 gram, and then another 1/2 hour later, in OJ.    (2 grams total)

Very experienced with psychs, but not so much with shrooms (only have tried PE, cubes, and azuluas or w/e they are).  Will update after trip.

Cyanspore, just put your listings in stealth and be over with it!  No need to keep going public. I know you want to give as many people the opportunity to buy the shrooms, but a lot of very good vendors are forced into stealth mode as well. 

But what am I saying, I want them all for myself  ::) ::) ::)

Post by: Widd3rshins on 12 April 2013, 03:08:55
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that operating in Stealth Mode only is where you want to be at.  IDK, i='m no vendor but if I was vending....

You have a core group of customers (however big or small), and only they can view your listings. 

  People without buyer stats probably aren't going to hit you up with orders, you can build a report with the customers since they are the same ones coming back again and again.

Just my .2 cents.

Just very happy to be able to try these mushrooms, I love SR and this exciting time.  Downloading your file as we speak  :)   big ups for the upload!

3 weeks ago when i started...

At first I was like 'please give me a chance - i have pretty good shrooms',

Then all of a sudden i was like - 'I'm buried under an avalanche. Send the St Bernard. Nice doggie'..hehe

Stealth it is, no problem. This is all still new for me, and I'm learning the ins and outs quite well. And yes, I am learning now that quite a few of the top vendors aren't even listed publicly, or only sometimes. That's what happens when you have the best quality 

I'm sure there are plenty of vendors on Silk Road running big operations with a team, but all of that is something that is manufactured in a lab

This is not that, and can't ever be by it's very nature

apparently one can only see feedback when the listing is in public mode. Some of the most recent feedback is great

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/79c30e564a

"Very good! lost my virginity to shrooms with this..
Me and all of my mates lost track of time and reality pretty hard.

Ofc we did the noobie mistake and ate much more than needed so it was a hell of a trip ;)"

Stealth mode slows orders down to a trickle, probably because I am still a new vendor and many people don't know how to find the listing in stealth mode, nor do they read the forums. I had 3 PM overnight asking where the listing is from people who already ordered once before. Also the btc crash seems to be slowing things down a little

The listing is public again for a few hours. It'll take some time to find a good balance between stealth and public and a steady order flow. I will try to make it public at different times so as not to leave out people in different time zones

updated, my favorite review so far

Ah man, quit getting me more and more excited! I need to stop reading this thread or I'm not going to be able to handle the wait anymore. Great info from Cyanspore and others alike, keep the reviews coming!

I've never listened to Greatful Dead but have always been interested in them since I heard about them as a kid when our landlord used to talk about the crazy concerts he'd. I'll listen to the album you uploaded with my wife while we're tripping on these 2 grams. Should be quite an experience, thanks for the recommendation and for the awesome Cyans!

Yeah, the vendors who are in stealth mode forever already had like 400 transactions.  So just keep doing what your doing, seems like your doing just fine for starting out!  I'm sure it's a lot to take in.

And yes, btc going crazy this week has not helped at all.   I was hoping to make an order every week to some different addresses, but lost a lot of $ with btc dropping down. 

Oh well, hopefully it'll rise again somewhat, or at least become more stable.

cant wait for the shrooms, just 2 more weeks...

stealth mode just means the listing isn't on Silk Road's public page, but is hidden. Vendors do this because they already have enough orders and don't need to advertise anymore

You can still find the listing by adding vendor to favorites or simply having the direct link which is in my sig here

To give you an idea, here's the stats from my profile. No idea if anybody or any hunter has done this in 22 days before

Cyanspore
has been a vendor for 22 days
was last seen: today
ranked in the top 35% of sellers with 99.7% positive feedback from 121 transactions
has 89 fans - become a fan

btw, the one single 4/5 out of all these. I asked him about it and it turns out that it wasn't because the shrooms were bad, it was because he didn't get the visuals he was expecting

well, what can you say to that...You're not going to get 100% expected trip 100% of the time with 100% of the people. It doesn't even happen like that under controlled conditions in a lab/study with manufactured pure psilocybin

and then this person updated after a week

"Ordered Sunday, received Thursday.

Good stealth, will update on potency (Tolerance from a recent 25i will prevent me from updating for at least another week)

Brilliant potency. Didn't know a single gram of shrooms could pack this much punch! Will order again."


it just goes to show ya. The 1 gram standard is simply a middle ground based on experience. Some people need as little as .2 gram, others need 2 or more grams. It's never going to be exactly right for all people

Usually if you try .5 to 1 gram you'll have a pretty good idea what is right for you

Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 14 April 2013, 21:19:58
actually, p allenni is mixed in with cyanescens. They are essentially the same thing and were only recently named after DNA tests showed mating incompatibility in some specimens

p allenni and p cyanescens could not be separated mycologically for over 10 years because they are identical under a microscope. They used to be nicknamed 'friscosa' or p franciscana for many years because mycologists were unable to come up with the standard 3 different characteristics needed to name a new species (spore size shape, cystidia formation, macro, etc)

there is not much difference with potency and is still considered a sister species to cyanescens. However I will be offering a few spore prints of p allenii and cyanescens for those that really want separate patches

p azurescens is also closely related to cyanescens but is not nearly as numerous as p allenni and cyanescens and only grows naturally in some coastal areas in washington/oregon. They are more potent, but only when fresh and they seem to lose potency faster when drying and after dry storage time


it turns out that p allenni and p cyanescens is about the best one all around for long term vacuum storage, so that these two species are probably the best ones you'll see during the summer months and off season

basically when you order from me, you're getting a little of both mixed in as powder. They are both equal and very closely related to the point of inbreeding almost. They sometimes grow in the same patches. For practical purposes especially ground down to powder, it's cyanescens

Of course next year, if people really cared about it, i could offer separate p allenni and p cyanescens, but it'll still be powdered for safe delivery, so it's not like there's going to be any major difference. You're not going to be able to order two different envelopes, 1 each of p allenni and p cyanescens in powder form and tell which one is which. They will both be so similar in powder form and trip quality that it's impossible to tell on a blind test. In fact, you wouldn't even be able to tell which one is which with chemical tests. The only way you could tell is with very expensive DNA tests

by Nick Curtiss, April 15, 2013

I do not doubt for one moment the absolute sincerity of the drugs campaigner Amanda Feilding, aka Lady Neidpath, Countess of Wemyss and March. Nor the good sense in her argument that narcotics should be scientifically studied, decriminalised, and licensed and regulated by the state for medical or recreational use as appropriate — a “sensible” alternative to the vast waste of lives and money in the unwinnable War on Drugs. But I can see how easy it is for her opponents to demonise the 70-year-old as a batty aristo.

The ex-artist and mother of two is the product of one grand family, traceable back to Charles II, and she married, aged 53, into another, richer one, which gives her clipped pronouncements on social policy a distinct whiff of de haut en bas. A pivot-point in her bohemian life came when she drilled a hole in her own skull in 1970: her long-term partner and father of her sons, Chelsea gallerist Joseph Mellen, and her husband Jamie Charteris, Lord Neidpath, have also had it done. Feilding still believes trepanation is an important tool in the study of consciousness, which is the root of all her work, but prefers not to talk about it in case it gives ammo to her political enemies.

Much of her life has been dedicated to the idea that psychoactive drugs such as psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms), LSD and cannabis, as opposed to heroin and cocaine, can do good as well as harm. So this is an exciting time. The Medical Research Council has stumped up £550,000 for Professor David Nutt’s team at Imperial College to test the use of psilocybin to treat depression. This was on the basis of earlier research by Nutt initiated and funded by the Beckley Foundation, which Feilding set up in 1998 and runs from her ancestral Tudor home outside Oxford.

The early tests showed that in subjects at rest, psilocybin decreased blood supply to a system in the brain called “the default mode network, which is the modern terminology for the ego”. This means the brain becomes “looser, more anarchic, but it also means that the repression is lessened, so that traumatic memories can be accessed and cleaned out”. It ties in with similar research the Beckley is running with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore into the use of psilocybin alongside psychotherapy to deal with treatment-resistant addiction, in this case smoking. “So far we have got a more or less 100 per cent success rate,” enthuses Feilding.

These tests couldn’t have happened 10 years ago because the brain-imaging technology wasn’t available and nor was the political will. Back in 2002 Feilding suggested to neuroscientist Colin Blakemore that they devise a scale of harm and benefits of psychoactive drugs. He pointed out that not just all the research but all the terminology only indicated the damage drugs did: the idea of benefits was anathema.

This she ascribes to a knee-jerk error of the Sixties. “LSD was discovered by Albert Hoffman in 1943, and it became in the Fifties the new wonder drug of doctors and psychotherapists,” she says. “Then, because it got out into the recreational world and was misused, and became associated with counterculture and revolution, that put it under taboo for 50 years. I think society made a mistake by simplifying the issue.” She set up the Beckley to work on both scientific research and social policy, believing the two are symbiotic.

Her argument is pretty straightforward: that criminalisation of drugs perpetuates the $50?billion worldwide trade and “destabilises countries, ruins the environment, makes people kill each other … The horrors on the Mexican-American border! People become completely inhuman, they can skin people, do horrible things. But if you take the policy harms out of the equation, the actual damage these substances cause in terms of the deaths they cause is pretty minimal.

“There is so much money involved in the illicit trade you cannot close it off. Surely the governments of the world must be able to regulate these things in a more harm-reducing way than criminal cartels whose only motive is profit? The success of a drugs policy should not be judged on how many people we imprison or how many drugs we capture at the border: health, harm reduction, cost effectiveness and human rights should be our aims.”

The day before we met, Archbishop Desmond Tutu had signed the Beckley Foundation’s public letter calling for a rethink of global drugs policy. Other signatories include the presidents of Colombia and Guatemala, several ex-premiers and former US presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, a host of Nobel Prize winners, Sir Richard Branson, Sting and Yoko Ono. Another signatory, founding president of Facebook and Spotify, Sean Parker, has given money to the Beckley, and Yoko Ono (Feilding’s accent renders it “Yerker Earner”) made a donation instead of a wedding present when Feilding’s son Rocky got married. But most of its money comes from other foundations: Getty, Soros, Flora. Lord Neidpath is hugely wealthy and landed and is “very supportive” but doesn’t chip in: “It’s not his thing.” So Feilding works herself “almost to my death, 15 hours a day, seven days a week, to raise every penny”.

Now the tide may be turning. The legalisation of cannabis in Washington state and Colorado “makes it harder for [the US] to criminalise the countries of Latin America. But progress is slow. If it was hard to win ethical approval for psilocybin tests, it’s even harder to get the stuff itself thanks to stringent EU regulations.

“No manufacturer wants to get involved in it: it’s too much paperwork for the tiny amount we need,” Feilding says. “So though one can go out and buy it on the street, one can’t get it for scientific research.”

It is still hard to have a grown-up, unhysterical conversation about drugs. One newspaper scented conspiracy this week in the fact that the Government’s current drugs czar, Professor Les Iversen, was listed on the Beckley’s advisory board. Nutt, his predecessor as drugs czar, was fired for stating that cannabis was less dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes, and ecstasy less risky than horse-riding. Feilding likens this to the Vatican’s treatment of Galileo.

She is a persuasive talker but what makes her such a complicated advocate — and an easy target for critics — is that her perspective seems incredibly rarefied. What does she know of crack dealers in Baltimore or youths smoking skunk in London squats? She is descended from the Earls of Denbigh and Desmond and grew up in Beckley Park with its three moats and extensive grounds. “We had absolutely no money, no heating, no petrol, no toys or friends or anything,” she insists. “No one came here: it was a frozen, isolated world.”

I ask what her father did: “Well, he did nothing. He was charming, he painted, he was a passionate lover of beauty and he kind of half-heartedly farmed.” The absolute lack of money is a recurring theme but she also tells me she bought Beckley Park off her siblings “when it came on the open market”, and our refreshments are brought by a factotum.

As a teenager, Feilding had “a passion for mystics and alternative religions” and left school at 16 with £50 in her pocket in search of a godfather whom she had never met but who had become a Buddhist monk in Ceylon. She never found him but had “amazing adventures, lived with the Bedouin in the desert”. Later, she taught herself about psychology and physiology and brain studies, and became a painter.

In 1966 she met the Dutch advocate of trepanation Dr Bart Hughes, and from the late Sixties she was living with Mellen, with whom she had two sons, Rock or “Rocky” (born 1979, and now a Conservative councillor in Kensington and Chelsea) and Cosmo (born 1985, and a film-maker). Her grisly trepanation is viewable online: she stood for Parliament in Chelsea in 1979 and 1983 on the single issue of getting the procedure provided by the NHS, getting 40 votes the first time and 139 the second.

I ask her what drugs she tried in her youth. “Well, before psychedelics were illegal I tried psychedelics, and came to recognise their great potential value  but also their potential for damage if misused.” To you, or to others? “Um, both.” When I ask if she still indulges, she gives me a narrow look and says: “We live in a heavily criminalised society.” But she has been able to educate her sons “properly” about drugs, because they know she won’t bullshit them.

As for trepanation — no, neither her sons nor her husband’s children, Mary the model and Dick the lawyer (Lord Elcho), from Jamie’s first marriage to Catherine Guinness, have been drilled. But Feilding is conducting research in St Petersburg  with Dr Yuri Moskalenko that seems to suggest the improved circulation of blood and cerebrospinal fluid attained through trepanation “washes out the big toxic molecules” that cause Alzheimer’s and dementia. Trepanation freed her husband, a former Oxford academic who taught international relations to Bill Clinton, from crippling headaches. “It’s been done in every culture since 10,000BC,” she says airily. “Then it got a bad name in the First World War when they started performing lobotomies.”

Feilding married her husband in 1995, at the Bent pyramid in Egypt: both remain “best friends” with her ex, Mellen. They divide their time between Beckley Park, his nearby Jacobean seat Stanway, and her house in Chelsea, which she has hung onto since 1965 for sentimental reasons: a pigeon chick she saved, and fed bits of Weetabix on the end of a paintbrush, returned there for 15 years.

I know, I know. All of this has nothing to do with her very earnest desire to improve our understanding of and attitude to drugs, here and worldwide. And sometimes I find myself thinking: if eccentric toffs didn’t undertake these crusades, who would? “Will you try not to make me sound a complete fool?” says Lady Neidpath graciously as I go. I hope I haven’t.

here's a PM from a recent customer who doesn't have a forum account yet and asked me to share this from a PM. And one note about the taste - they don't taste as bad because they grow in wood chips, not cow shit

review:

"Hey I got the order! I'm not on the forums but I wanted to give a review and you're free to share it as feedback.

I took about 0.7 grams of it this morning and had a great trip lasting me into the afternoon. I would say it lasted about five hours total. Also, the powder actually smells decent and it doesn't taste bad at all. No nausea or bad side effects (though that differs from person to person obviously). Overall a great product!

Thanks!"

HUNGER GAMES STARRING THE MUSHROOM HUNTER..... and their beloved  El Natural B12 truffles vac sealed MBB style

I was always hesitant to order shrooms O/S considering the dosages required to wormhole into  Michios Kaku's 11th dimension... FEAR NOT fellow cosmonauts... I ordered 3grams.. Lol and behold 11 days in me filthy mits.. Decided to cap 3 half grams and dropped 200mg for the baseline  novelty factor....Within half an hour felt a tad light headed..Soon after I was surfing the forums and  started laughing for a solid 5 minutes..I focused intensely  on one quote reading Cyans vendor page"I am a specialist in the best shrooms you can possibly get" NO SHIT! talk about setting the SR community up!

 At this point I realized yes indeed these are potent little serotonin invaders...The following night I dropped a moderate  1.5 grams and  yeah It was ACTION STATIONS. I could literally feel these shrooms filtering thru the blood brain barrier with the consumate ease and precision  of a laser beam. Amazing Grace.  I reckon 3grams without tolerance  would be sensory overload if your personalty is akin to such draconian upheaval. How long is a piece of string?

Cyan.. Usually your better at something if you enjoy what your doing...So you "Love hunting" .I spose' it gives you a natural high?

bankofgt, thanks for that. To anwser the question, I love hunting because there's no crappy boss like a regular job and it;s out doors and lots of exercise. It's actually more like hunting in the suburbs and not out in the wilderness, but it's still outside and one still has to hunt many miles for it each day so it's healthy work, stay in shape . Hunting these shrooms is something I'm really good at because I've been doing it a long time. I still love hunting and always will, because there's always something new and challenging. Always new discoveries, new species and ever changing habitat. It's science and mycology itself is always being updated with new species being discovered all the time

it's better than sitting at a desk all day, I can tell you that

also, you're one of the few people that got it just about right with 'serotonin invader' and 'blood brain barrier' Psilocybin is something of an enigma in science that it does cross the blood brain barrier quite easily, and also is structurally similar to serotonin itself, which is your penial gland in your brain

Many drugs, like methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin will drain your pineal gland of serotonin (this is an actual forced release of serotonin). Psilocybin does not do this and instead temporarily replaces the receptors with it's own serotonin like chemical, psilocybin, so that you're not actually draining your own brain of serotonin, because after a mushroom trip, your serotonin is still there

the pineal gland is also known as the third eye

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineal_gland

the replacement of serotonin with psilocybin during a trip affects the 5-HT receptors. This is been researched many times, but never fully explained on how psilocybin actually does this, so it remains a bit of a mystery. This is very different from many other drugs like meth, coke and pills which simply force release of serotonin, and this is why so many other chemicals have this long term side effects and hangovers, while mushrooms do not. True psychedelics, DMT, LSD and psilocybin are structurally related to chemicals that are already in your own brain. This is why psychedelics do very little physical harm over a long period of time and is also why you'll find older people doing shrooms as well as younger people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin


Psilocybin is a tryptamine compound with a chemical structure containing an indole ring linked to an ethylamine substituent. It is chemically related to the amino acid tryptophan, and is structurally similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Psilocybin is a member of the general class of tryptophan-based compounds that originally functioned as antioxidants in earlier life forms before assuming more complex functions in multicellular organisms, including humans.[51] Other related indole-containing psychedelic compounds include dimethyltryptamine, found in many plant species and in trace amounts in some mammals, and bufotenine, found in the skin of psychoactive toads.[52] Biosynthetically, the biochemical transformation from tryptophan to psilocybin involves several enzyme reactions: decarboxylation, methylation at the N9 position, 4-hydroxylation, and O-phosphorylation. Isotopic labeling experiments suggest that tryptophan decarboxylation is the initial biosynthetic step and that O-phosphorylation is the final step.[53][54] The precise sequence of the intermediate enzymatic steps is not known with certainty, and the biosynthetic pathway may differ between species.[55]



it's not just a great trip, it's an education!


and glad you enjoyed your trip

"Although not closely related, Psilocybe cyanescens has been at least occasionally confused with Galerina marginata with fatal results. The two mushrooms have generally similar habits and appearances, and bear a superficial resemblance to each other such that inexperienced mushroom-seekers may confuse the two.The two species can grow side-by-side, which may add to the chance of confusion."

"Galerina frequently grows together with Psilocybe cyanescens, P. stuntzii and several other Psilocybe mushrooms. The size is roughly the same and the typical darkening at the base of the stem of Galerina species can be mistaken for the bluing reaction of Psilocybes. The spore colors are similar."

Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 22 April 2013, 14:39:18
this is true. Galerina autumnalis and a few other little brown mushrooms that are toxic grow in the same habitat as cyanescens, however it is very easy to tell them apart unless you're color blind. The good ones always have a bluing reaction and purple spore print while the toxic ones always have a cinnamon spore print and gill color

This is something you need to know if you don't have experience hunting these mushrooms, but I've been hunting for over 20 years and never gone wrong, so that's not a problem with me

curiously tho, there has never been a documented case of ingestion of galerina and other toxic little brown mushrooms misidentified as cyans. Instead, nearly all of the mushroom poisonings occur with edible species mistakenly identified and related to Amanita phalloides, aka the Death Cap, which are big white mushrooms commonly mistaken for other big white mushrooms

Here's a whole set of good photos of psilocybe cyanescens in the wild by some of the best experts out there

http://www.shroomery.org/12501/Psilocybe-cyanescens/print

also listed is many of the 'look alikes' LBM little brown mushrooms that beginners sometimes mistake cyanescens for >  Galerina marginata,Pholiotina rugosa, Pholiota sp., Tubaria furfuracea, Gymnopilus sapineus, Macrocystidia cucumis, Leratiomyces percevalii, Agrocybe putaminum. Hypholoma sp., Hebeloma sp.


All you need to do is copy any of those scientific species names in Google and do a search, photo search and in combination with psilocybe cyanescens search and eventually you'll start seeing differences. Tubaria genus and it's family is probably the most common and a few of those are toxic, but nobody has ever been documented as being admitted to a hospital because of those. It just hasn't happened. It HAS happened with big white Amanitas wrongly ID'd as being edible

always good to get an education on these. There is LOTS and LOTS of documentation on these species. It is not a secret in any way, especially now with the internet. There is no reason why anyone should get poisoned by any mushroom these days with enough research, getting involved with mycologists, going to group forays and learning how to ID, joining your local mushroom club.

People get poisoned because of ignorance. No other reason. I should also add that many of the so called 'poisonings' are not really poisonings in the classic sense, but people do get sick, or they get diarrhea, upset stomach, is because people eat cyanescens fresh when the mushrooms are too old and rotten to eat, they don't dry them out properly, bacteria grows on it just like any other perishable vegetable

this is partly why you can get upset stomach from indoor grown cubensis. In fact, there is more upset stomach from indoor grown cubensis than there are with properly dried cyanescens. Why? because more than a few cubensis growers are less than scrupulous and water is weight. If they don't dry them out fully, they are heavier and weigh more. They will also go bad and start smelling really bad and bacteria grows on it, and that will give you stomach cramps and a pretty fucked up trip

I have seen numerous reports about this in forums with cubensis growers not drying them out properly. This is a far more common problem than mis identification is

"Although not closely related, Psilocybe cyanescens has been at least occasionally confused with Galerina marginata with fatal results.

im pretty glad you are providing this to SR! thank you! I will order some! these come in cracker dry?

Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 22 April 2013, 17:13:06
these mushrooms are always cracker dry and kept in vacuum the whole time, from the day they are picked and dried until they get to you. This is about the only way to keep them potent this far out of season. The only better way is freeze dried or nitrogen, both more expensive forms of long term storage

also, they must be cracker dry or they won't grind up into fine powder, so that's another way to tell. Azurescens is relatively hard to get and they only grow naturally along the coastal sections of Washington/Oregon. There are people that grow them, but it's nowhere near the quantity that cyanescens occurs in the wild


Azurescens are stronger when fresh and short term drying, but I've read many times that after a few months they become about the same as cyanescens anyway, so really the only time Azurescens would be worth it is winter time, maybe to February

Hello! This was my first time doing shrooms and I am glad I ordered from Cyanspore.

I ordered 1g of shrooms from Cyan about 2 weeks before 4/20 and received them 4 days after placing the order. Nice stealth. 5/5

I ended up doing the whole gram of shrooms at 4:20 PM on 4/20. You get a small body high/tingle about 30 minutes later and it gets a little more intensive after another 30 minutes.

These shrooms don't gradually get you to your peak. They just side-slam into you! One minute I'm kind of second guessing the potency, the next minute I'm swaying back and forth like I am on a boat.

From there it got much stronger. Visuals were tracers, my friends had like a red and green outline, and things were slightly moving. Went to check myself in the mirror and my face was also moving. Feeling my face, eating cookies and pizza was amazing.

The only side-effects that I had was that because I was sweating in my pelvic region, it got warm. This caused me to think that I had pissed myself, when I had not =P

The epiphany that came from it, was that I. AM. ME. I don't talk much when I am with my friends, usually leeching off other peoples ideas and taking them as my own, or relying on other people as the social person. About 2-3 hours into the trip, I started noticing that I couldn't "rely" on my friends. I have to talk and think for myself. Everybody was themselves, and I am me. They have their own shells and I have my own. Instead of not having something to hold me together, I did have something during the trip, and I still do.

Around 9 or 10 I took to big of a hit of the bong and ended up couch-locking myself and napping, haha.

Next day my head was kind of heavy, so I ended up sleeping for a total of ~22 hours. Monday, yesterday, my head felt a lot better.

5/5 I will definitely order from him again, but this time I will only take 0.5g. 1g was a tad over-powering at times, but I had my friends there to help me through it!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, there was almost no stomach pain. There was something like a "wall" in my stomach that caused me to not laugh too hard, but went away around hour 3 or 4 of the trip.

Post by: correctly on 24 April 2013, 10:03:00
are these powdered? would it be possible to request them not powdered? IME with dried mush is that powdering them really decreases potency through oxidation
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 24 April 2013, 14:11:47
yes, that is true that powdered would increase oxidation via more surface area being exposed. But they are kept in vacuum whole, and then ground up the same day before being delivered in another vacuum pack. You would still have good potency for at least one month even after breaking the vacuum seal. The oxidation process is fairly slow and goes downhill after a few months. It's gradual. Without vacuum and storing whole, you can lose 50% in 6 months. With vacuum, you lose maybe 10% over 2 years

I wish I could send them whole, but unfortunately powdered is the only way to have good stealth, otherwise it would become more expensive, bigger packages, and a real pain in the ass

Curiously, many people prefer powdered anyway, simply because it's easier to measure 1 gram = 1 teaspoon. Whole mushrooms come in many different sizes so unless you have a scale, you can easily go overboard with a single mushroom. The largest cyanescens can weigh over 3 grams each (pretty scary, huh?)

So it has to stay powdered for security reasons, mostly. It's just much easier that way

this is what I'm talking about with cubensis growers not drying their shrooms properly. - reddit/r/silkroad

http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1d1y1m/shrooms/

you know how many times I've seen that with cubensis growers?. Lots

You get it wet like that, keep it in a plastic bag and it will start going bad in 1 day and start smelling something really nasty and fierce. That's bacteria that starts growing on it and it'll make you sick if you eat it in that condition

these mushrooms are no different than any other edible mushroom that way. They will go bad without refrigeration, drying, or whatever good means of preserving them. Completely drying them first will kill the bacteria. Bacteria need moisture to survive so drying them first will kill the bacteria and usually make it safe to eat

Altho if you wait too long and the mushrooms really start turning bad, they'll get darker and nasty and lose potency and even if you dry them and kill the bacteria they'll lose plenty potency that way

Sending undried shrooms in the mail is only a good idea under strict conditions to make sure your customers know exactly how to deal with it. I would not recommended it because once it leaves your hands, it's out of your control and too many people have no idea how to deal with it. It's happened too many times with inexperienced people getting really funky shrooms and desperate enough not to let it go to waste and then getting sick

This is part of the reason I refuse larger quantities, because people don't know or don't have proper vacuum to store it more than one month - so that if people get too large quantities and keep them out of vacuum longer then 6 months, they become weaker and pointless - and give shrooms a bad name

there's a lot more to professionalism with hunters and growers than simply hunting and growing them

I took 1g of psylocybe cyanescens with 750µg 25i-NBOMe. 
25i in itself is fantastic, magical and very electric for me.
The addition of the psylocybe just to me to an extraordinary
new level!  The visuals were intense and I felt an incredibly
strong "rolling" sensation peak for about 2 hours.  It's so
hard to describe how good I felt!!!  I feel like the combo
balanced itself perfectly and I'd try it again. I'd use 2 grams
of cyanspore's psylocybe the next time for sure.

I'll try to deal with it the best I can if people can still slip through and make an order, but it's no hurry and supply is fine..even if it takes another week to return to normal, the shrooms will still be there (pretty much all summer, off and on)  :D

hello boys n girls.

Unfortunately, i am unable to review cyan's shrooms, as they didn't really have an effect on me or anyone else that consumed them....
Please note that this is NOT SO SAY that the shrooms are bad. All of us had tolerance built up due to high dose LSD consumption, a day prior to eating the shrooms.
This was because we had way more LSD than shrooms, and we wanted to trip together, and there wasn't really enough shrooms for 8 people ( 2g only ).

I will be placing a bigger order soon, as i am planning another "journey" in a month or  2. this time i will ensure there's enough to go around, and will write up a proper review.



Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 30 April 2013, 04:38:29
yep, I'm not surprised about the tolerance there. People who do methamphetamine also tend not to feel shrooms at all. Probably a bunch of other chemicals with the same results. I don't do that stuff myself, but others have told me over the years

You'll build up a tolerance if you do cyanescens every day. I've tested that out for years. You can do about .2 grams daily and still feel it, but it will be very light. Anything more than that and you'll build up a tolerance. Once a week is about the minimum wait for a good trip of .5 - 1 gram and higher and that's if you're clean and haven't done other psychedelics, or crank

Just had a chance to try cyanspore's product for the first time.  My significant other and I each took a gram.  The come up was quick (~30 min) and slightly more intense than my experiences taking 3.5g of cubes, but by no means unpleasant.  Once that initial come-up, the trip itself was very similar to my experiences on other types of shrooms.  Colors were more vibrant, self-reflection, insights on how things worked that I lack while sober, plus the feeling of an intense closeness with my significant other.  A very very smooth, enjoyable trip.  My only (minor) complaint is that at 3-4 hours, the trip didn't last as long as cubes.  But given the price difference between a gram of cyans and an eighth of cubes (not to mention the fast shipping time and stealth), I'd probably go with cyanspore every time.  Next time, I'll probably try 1.5-2g, but my significant other said 1g was perfect.

Hey buddy, I was hopping to place an order as soon as you answer this question: I wanted to have a nice visual trip (most important part for me), without being too mind fucked. I've tripped a lot in my life, but maybe only twice in the past year. I don't take any recreational drugs except weed. However, I smoke about 2g per week of BHO and other concentrates (hash that is 65%+ THC). What dosage would you recommend for me given these factor? ALSO: how long should be discontinue anti-depressants before taking them for maximum effect? Thanks buddy!

Dude... DON'T take more than a gram. I did .5g and I was tripping HARD at times.

Thanks for the info buddy. If you don't mind me asking, how many grams of regular cubes do you normally take for a good trip? I have a good trip with 5-7 grams of good potency cubes. Thanks for the help

To be honest, I don't think I'm a good enough authority on this topic to guide you. As I don't trip on shrooms often I can't say what dosage to benchmark it with. I have followed this thread and from what I've gathered many people including the OP have stated that 1g is a strong dose even for experienced trippers. Of course all this depends on your tolerance but it seems as if yours is low right now which is what I based my judgement off of. Good luck!
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 05 May 2013, 13:01:12
Heatfan is right. It's really difficult to know what is right for you especially with a relatively unknown potent species like this because you can only compare it to other species like cubes, and cubes can vary in potency as well and of course tolerance factors and everybody is different

the best we can come up with is to try 1 gram the first time, or even .5 gram, and then at least you'll have a much better idea of what is best for you the 2nd time. People who actually go out and hunt this in the wild have the same problem - how much to eat the first time, so usually they try 1 or 2 small mushrooms (1 gram and under-dried) and see what happens, and then' you'll know. Once you know, then you'll know, and it gets much easier after that

There are now over 140 different species of psilocybe genus mushrooms around the world, with more being discovered and named every year, and all of them are different in terms of potency. So in each case, somebody has to test it. Each hunter has to test it when it's a new and emerging species, but it doesn't take long to find out what is what and after that it gets fairly consistent - if it's the same species

some day I would like to see other hunters offering other species from around the world, from liberty caps (p semilanceata) to p subaeruginosa, to p ovoideocystidia, p azurescens, p mexicana. The demand is there to accommodate many species on Silk Road. There is a wide variety of psychedelic mushrooms around the world. Being able to get enough to offer it here is just in it's infancy now

Anyway, I'm probably going to go on a short vacation for a few days soon, and listing in vacation mode and then I will be back. Supply is still fine and will be there when I get back

Since I've not taken these mushrooms before I started out with .75g, after half an hour I started to get mildly nauseous and started to feel some of the sensations that were telling me it was going to blossom...  and it didn't, so I waited 1 1/4hrs and took .5mg gave it another hour and took the last .75g.  nada :(  I spent around 4 hours with it promising to come on and a couple of times I noticed it was almost starting as things started to get a bit brighter but alas it never kicked into even a low grade, enhanced light trip, let alone with hallucinations.  sigh

The powder didn't have an overpowering mushroom taste, which was nice and the stealth packaging was great, it just didn't do the trick.  Which has never happened to me before, so I'm at a loss to understand why.

The only thing I can think of was I'd had some cannabis edibles the night before and I suppose it might have still been swilling around in my system but again, using cannabis in the days leading up to a trip has never been a problem before. I'd not eaten for probably 4 hours before I took the powder and the only thing I'd taken was a vitamin c fizzy in the morning.

Anyone have any ideas why it failed?

possibly half an hour all up, probably not even that.
in a cup of espresso coffee, with a spoon of sugar.
nope, I'd last eaten about 4 hrs before

I did wonder if the coffee might have had something to do with it but I did some searching and couldn't find any reports of it being a problem.

I was a bit disappointed.  The nausea surprised me but it was brief and not particularly strong.  Normally I get cramps, but then I'm usually eating them fresh picked, this is the first time I've tried powdered, so perhaps that's a difference.  I don't know, I suppose I could just have some kind of bizarre tolerance to them.  Sigh, isn't that always the way?

It was worth at try :)

I just wanted to drop a line and say the positive experience I had with cyanspore and his/her p cyanescens.  I took 1g for my first trip and I felt an intense connection to the nature and things around me.  The trip lasted for about 2-3 hours and it peaked for around 30 minutes.  I would definitely say the experience was profound - even life altering.  I look forward to trying it again in a greater dose to see if I can stimulate visual hallucinations.  Thanks a lot cyan!  You are awesome!

Not a good idea to put them in the fridge or freezer because that introduces moisture. Although if it's still sealed in the moisture barrier bag it's not likely to get moisture inside the bag, but it's still not a good idea

The powder will be fine if stored in a dry dark place and even dark is not needed since the MBB is already light resistant, so just store it in a drawer, or closet, behind a bookshelf, whatever. Even if you break the seal on the bag, it will still be good for a month as long as it's kept dry (NOT in the fridge!)

one of the more detailed feedback from the listing yesterday -----------------
--------------------------------------------------------------

 must apologize for finalizing so late! With all the problems Silk Road was having combined with how busy I have been, I never got the chance to. Needless to say, it was once again a great pleasure doing business with Cyanspore. Grade A Communication (he stayed in touch with me via bmr), 3 days shipping to midwest as usual, and as always Grade AAAAAAA+++++ product. My favorite shrooms on the entire planet, even if they're in powder form. The trip is unmatched by any other Shroom I've had. I split all 7 grams between me and a couple close friends. I had about 2.6g, I had the most intense trip of my life so far. At some points it was too much for me actually (and I'm experienced with psychedelics). After the peak, we spent the rest of the night discussing humanity, philosophy, and psychology.

Thank you Cyanspore! Thanks to you, I had what was probably the most intelligent conversation in my life so far.
Until next time!

I just thought I'd post that cyanspore generously refunded me my purchase, so I sent the bitcoins back to him.  I don't think there is any problems with the mushrooms, it was something about me that didn't let it work, so don't let my failure put you off.

I can't say this too many times, his comms and packaging are top notch and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone who likes their mushrooms.

An exemplary product from a fantastic vendor!

I first weighed out my 2g and put into gel caps. At that point I opened the bag completely and licked the little bit of powder off the inside which wouldn't come out. I couldn't have been more than 50mg. Not expecting much I was pleasantly surprised I started feeling the light effects of the mushrooms!

A week and a half later my girl and I found a wonderful spot near the beach and ate a gram each. She was blown away and had an amazing experience that was just right for her. She had eaten other mushrooms 5 times before without any effects and was really excited to have her first real mushroom experience.

I on the other hand occasionally find a massively delayed onset when taking things orally. I felt only minor effects for the entire afternoon, but 7 hours later it hit me. Nice and strong, nothing overwhelming but wholeheartedly recommend starting with 1g first. Next time I'll put the powder in my mouth instead of a gelcap.

Obviously Cyanspore's success is due to his fantastic product, great customer service, good stealth, and speedy shipping. A++++ Vendor!

stealth mode only means it's not advertised on the main silk road site, but the listing is there for anyone who knows the URL and that's in the sig here. Or you can also access it by adding to favorites (to help you keep the URL handy)

I only go out of stealth mode occasionally because advertising on the main site can become too much to handle in a matter of hours. I can only handle around 10-20 orders a day

I got mine in 3 days.  Everything looks perfect, except the vacuum bag arrived partially unsealed on one end.  Could this be due to the new heat sealer?  It is a little worrying to receive an open bag, but based on cyanspore's record, this looks like a transient problem.

I sealed the bag inside another vacuum bag.  I don't know how much the shrooms' potency may have been affected by the open bag, but I will give the stuff a shot soon and will report back. 

Best of wishes,

Post by: cyanspore on 18 May 2013, 00:45:12
sorry about that. the potency will not be affected for at least a month even if the vacuum is broken

I have finally found a replacement, I think, for the original vacuum packer I had for 10 years, and I'll get it next week. This after trying 3 other automatic vacuum packers that just aren't as good as my old manual one

I can tell you that most of the consumer auto vacuum packers these days are not nearly as good as the Italian made one I've used for years. Unfortunately they dont make them anymore and are getting difficult to find

also, I think I will start double bagging them now but it's not like it's a common occurrence. It's happened 3 times now in over 300 packages sent, so less than 1%. No idea how that compares to other vendors, but once is too much. I'm not sure if it's possible to make it 100% given the machinery and abuse these packages go through sometimes

updated: double bagging isn't working. it's too thick and it won't stick. Only thing I can do is double sealing in 1 bag, extra wide seals. But I can try to get better bags in the future

this is told to me from one of my customers who will will remain anonymous but he gave me permission to post it. This is one of the things that make it all worth it, and shows that mushrooms is one of the few things on SR that can benefit people like this

This person has long term depression. He ordered specifically because of recent studies at John Hopkins University involving psilocybin and depression. You can easily find this on the clearweb by doing a search. This does NOT work in all cases all the time and the scientifically controlled studies have only a 60% success rate, but this is still better than many of the chemical mood elevators and their side effects

I received two messages from this customer. Both messages are posted here, first one followed by the second

First letter, about a month ago

"Thank you again for the extra gram.  I took one yesterday and still have the
other.  It came on pretty much the way you described, and lasted about four
hours.  My wife actually took notes of how I was acting and what I was saying...
unfortunately my memories and her notes are all that seems to remain from the
experience, which was 100% positive while it lasted.

I would do a few things differently next time, which may or may not be next
weekend... it depends on whether or not my wife wants to do the other gram.  I
kind of wish I'd taken both grams, in the hopes that the experience would have
been deeper and more therapeutic... and I wish I'd gone outside and seen people
other than my wife and mother-in-law.  As it is though, my wife was the center
of my world while I tripped.  She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen and
I was overwhelmed with love for her, I looked at her and just started crying,
joy, sadness, and hilarity all crashing into each other.  We made love like we
haven't in a decade, then I helped her make dinner, and at this point the
ceiling had long since stopped moving... I just felt happy.  Happy and
optimistic and energized... and it lasted so long I dared to hope that this was
the new me, at least for a good while.  And then suddenly it all left.  The
enthusiasm drained out of me, and I suddenly felt heavy and dull.  Like normal.

I tried to stay optimistic, and think that having just come down from such a
height, I was bound to bounce back up a little.  As long as I ended up better
than I was before, the experiment would be a success.  The next day, I honestly
don't know if I'm better now or not.  I'm certainly not worse, and I value what
I felt while it lasted, but I'm also really sad that it couldn't last.  Near the
end I felt like I wanted to try anything and everything, go out into the world I
normally feared and appreciate everything.  I passionately wanted to help other
people like me, who felt hopeless and powerless to help themselves.  Now it's
more cautious optimism.  I want to learn more, trip again, grow my own.  I can't
say my life is changed...yet.  It's more like I went on a brief but wonderful
vacation, and I treasure the memory of it.  It's more happiness in one evening
than I've felt in years.  So thank you so very, very much for that.    "

Second letter, about a week ago

"Greetings again.  I\'m that guy who ordered awhile back because he was interested in using mushrooms to treat my depression.  In addition to finally ordering again, you wanted to know how the experiment went. 

I don\'t remember exactly what I said last time, but I\'m sure I reported a wonderful experience while tripping but I wasn\'t sure of any lasting effects.  Well, I can now confidently report that there HAS been a positive lasting effect, it\'s just significantly more obvious to everyone else than it is to me. 

My wife has been really enjoying what she calls \"**** 2.0\", who seems to be more confident, less prone to frustration and despair, and a massively better communicator.  All I really notice is that discussions that used to turn into arguments don\'t anymore, and apparently that\'s all due to me.  Other little things too, like strangers are more likely to engage me now.  Like there was something in my face before that just screamed \"leave me the hell alone\" (despite me desperately wishing for the opposite), but now I\'ve got drive-thru attendants spontaneously wanting to chat me up.  That NEVER happens.

Oh, and I don\'t entertain killing myself anymore.  Life hasn\'t gotten easier, it\'s still pretty screwed up, and I\'m plenty frustrated, but I\'d rather keep trying to work through it than be dead.  It really was that bad before.

My wife finally worked up the nerve to take the other gram (thank you again for that), and she had a very different experience than me.  A brief period of visual hallucination... vivid colors, a bit of ceiling movement, and she looked in the mirror and saw herself the way I saw her... beautiful!  But that seemed to pass quickly, and she got very introspective and spent awhile talking about painful times in her past.  Stuff that\'s shaped who she is now, and has kept pretty bottled up.  She cried a lot, and hard.  No regrets, for her or me, but she\'s not sure what hers was about.  And neither of us are sure yet if there\'s been any lasting effect, although she has reported that she sleeps better. 

We\'re both wondering though, does that sound like her dose had a stronger or lesser effect?  It\'s not obvious which way it went, because it was just so DIFFERENT, but she definitely would like to have a trip more like mine.  Less introspection, more unbridled joy and beauty.  It was the same dose, as near as I could eyeball it.  She\'s significantly lighter than me, and I\'m not sure but I think she smoked a little weed beforehand to ease her nervousness (first time for her too).  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, thank you again for opening this door for me, and I look forward to re-visiting it soon!"

got my replacement vacuum packer with a good sealer. all is well and thanks to all the people who finalized and left good reviews

this marks the halfway point between seasons, 5-6 months until the season starts on the west coast in October so it'll be a little tighter until then. Not going to raise the price or anything, but just more careful with measurements and extras

I definitely want to be the first vendor in history of Silk Road to have psilocybe cyanescens year round and in good quality, good preservation via vacuum

these days I've been in stealth mode almost all the time with maybe a few hours a week in public advertising on the main site because now enough people are repeat or already know how to find the listing I don't need to advertise much anymore

it's just enough not to overwhelm me and still be able to make it for the rest of the summer...I think

Finally got around to eating a little bit last weekend, and for the small amount me and my girlfriend ate, about 600mg each, the buzz was quite nice, with a little bit of the breathing effect. No visuals or anything for the most part off of that small of a dose, but I can see the awesome potential of a half 8th. Definitely plan on ordering some more within the next few weeks. Thanks!

dude, these are NOT cubensis, and they will NOT grow in your area in the summer time. Trust me on this, I can send you a spore print and it's guaranteed to fail in your area. You can grow mycelium for awhile, but you'll never get more than a couple of scraggly little pathetic specimens out of it...
YAY!!!!

I am not concerned about the difficulty or time required to grow it.
Shrooms grow all over the forests in the south of my country from june onwards till around october.
I believe these to be cubensis variety though. Unfortunately, i do not have a hook up. Two sources didnt work out, sadly...
Hi Cyanospore :-)
A bit late to this thread, but noticed a possible miscommunication in the quotes above. I think Daydreamer was saying cubensis grow near his house and you seemed to think he was saying you were selling cubensis. I could be off target, but thought it good to mention he was not disrespecting your shrooms. I also don't think he was saying he thought he could spread some spores and have success with cyanescens in his yard easily.

Anyway, I have not read your entire thread but wanted to say hi and mention we add azurescens to honey around here. I wonder if that helps them retain potency? These are great shrooms and I am happy to see such a nice and informational hunter sharing our forrest's treats on the Road :-)

Edit: You have probably thought of this but, your vac packer may have trouble with sucking up too much fine powder if you don't have the powder in a ziplock or something. I'd guess you are trying to get all the air out of the powder and a Ziplock would block that goal. Just a thought. If there is a filter inside? or something that the powder can clog up? That last bit of sucking on a bag of powder can really be dirty. You probably also know that you need to keep pressing the sealer after the light goes out for a few seconds for maximum sealing effectivness.
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 01 June 2013, 18:16:15
Ok, Nugz, well if and when I ever have a listing for cyan spores I would make it clear it can only be cultivated out doors in certain areas. If cubensis grows naturally in your area, it's unlikely cyanescens will, and vice versa. Two very different climates

cubensis is semi tropical and grows in warm temperatures, while cyans and azures like cold, near freezing temps. You can find temperate zone maps for your area and it depends what zone that is, which type of mushroom you can grow. Daydreamer mentions forest growth from June to  October. this indicates summer time growth in a warmer climate, not likely a temperate species unless it's the southern hemisphere like Australia and they have their own related species down there like psilocybe subaeruginosa

anyway, when I have some spores in the fall for a listing I'll spell all that out, that only certain climates are likely to succeed with cyans. you will not be able to grow cyans indoors, or in warm climates etc


In regards to storage and honey and azures, yes honey would work and has been used for centuries before vacuum was invented a couple hundred years ago. Honey basically does the same thing as vacuum, by engulfing the dried mushrooms and removing the oxygen. However honey can also keep tiny hidden air pockets so it's not quite as good as a straight vacuum packer with ball mason jars, but honey would be the next best thing if you didn't have a good vacuum. Nitrogen packing is also good because that also removes the oxygen

Oxygen is one of the factors in long term degradation of active indoles in these mushrooms. Remove the oxygen and you can keep them potent much much longer. The closer you get to zero oxygen levels, the longer they stay potent.. The better, more powerful commercial vacuum packers remove enough oxygen to keep these potent for up to two years at least. I've tested this numerous times

By comparison, dried storage without vacuum you can lose 50% potency in 6 months with both azures and cyans. Azures lose it even faster than cyans. But with a good vacuum, you can keep 80-90% potency for 2 years, at least with cyans

I haven't heard yet from azure people how far and how tested and reliable vacuum is for azures. But I have heard many times azures can lose more, and faster if only dried without vacuum over just a  few months. That would mean that azures basically become more like cyans after a few months of dried storage, or even weaker. Azures are not as common as cyanescens or allenii so there's not as many people who have those in any kind of quantity, enough to last a whole year or longer, so all the long term storage knowledge base for azures is still in it's infancy

I know, for example, there is a listing now for azurescens on SR, but I haven't yet seen any quality reports. I do know that this far out of season, 6 months, if those weren't kept in vacuum since back in December when they were first dried, it's unlikely they will be as potent anymore. It all depends on how they have been storing it. It'll be interesting to find out if they're still good. (of course they are the most potent, but that's when fresh)

But we definitely know about cyanescens and how to keep them potent for 2 years and longer, more than enough time to make it to the next season

and about the sealers, yes, I know about how powder can get into the motor areas and there different designs to help stop that. You actually need to have a slight hole or bump in most MBB bags because of it's perfect flatness in order to suck any air out. Other threads here have asked about this, and why it's so hard to seal MBB bags with most consumer vacuums

This wasn't exactly my problem tho. My problem was that my good commercial vacuum lost it's s heat seal and I had to get a foodsaver for a week and that food saver just didn't have as good a heat sealer on it

Now I have a brand new replacement for my  commercial grade and the heat sealer works just like it used to. This particular vacuum has  a chamber and hose from the lid, not the bottom, so the powder going into the chamber isn't the problem like it is with most other vacuum sealers. In fact, a few grains of powder helps to make the MBB open enough to suck the air out and then it can be sealed properly


compared to that, most other consumer vacuums and even some commercial grades are just lame and don't work quite right for these specialized uses. We're not using their own 'grooved' PE grade food bags, but more sturdy and flat MBB bags and you really need a quality vacuum, and so far only one does a good job (foodsaver will vacuum and suck the air out of MBB bags, but it's not a particularly strong vacuum, nor is the heat seal very strong, but it's OK for most everyday uses, but this isn't every day uses either)

I have a brand new one now. When I get a second, I'll let you know what it is on the rare occasion another one shows up

Of course, there's also different types of MBB too and that's sort of a long term trial and error thing to find out what works the best, how much abuse they can take after shipping, etc

PS, I should mention this is one of the main reasons i can only handle around 10-15 orders a day. It takes time to package each one properly. It can take 3 hours to do 10 packages. It's not easy getting it like that even with a good vacuum. The vacuum is needed not just for the vacuum, but to keep the powder from shifting around

I've now sent out over 1000 envelopes, and had 3 MBB fails and that's with the one week using the weaker foodsaver, so that's not too bad. And all three happened during shipment/abuse, after they were sent out..One recently got wet apparently and torn the outside, but the MBB and vacuum held through and they were still dry

that's less than .3% fail rate which is not perfect and I'll certainly try to make it better if possible. I'm not sure if it is possible to reach 100% or anybody has done better with this type of packaging/envelope. I haven't really seen any honest stats about that yet in packaging forums, but I have seen much higher fail rates and crappier packaging from some other vendors

dude, these are NOT cubensis, and they will NOT grow in your area in the summer time. Trust me on this, I can send you a spore print and it's guaranteed to fail in your area. You can grow mycelium for awhile, but you'll never get more than a couple of scraggly little pathetic specimens out of it...
YAY!!!!

I am not concerned about the difficulty or time required to grow it.
Shrooms grow all over the forests in the south of my country from june onwards till around october.
I believe these to be cubensis variety though. Unfortunately, i do not have a hook up. Two sources didnt work out, sadly...
Hi Cyanospore :-)
A bit late to this thread, but noticed a possible miscommunication in the quotes above. I think Daydreamer was saying cubensis grow near his house and you seemed to think he was saying you were selling cubensis. I could be off target, but thought it good to mention he was not disrespecting your shrooms. I also don't think he was saying he thought he could spread some spores and have success with cyanescens in his yard easily.

Anyway, I have not read your entire thread but wanted to say hi and mention we add azurescens to honey around here. I wonder if that helps them retain potency? These are great shrooms and I am happy to see such a nice and informational hunter sharing our forrest's treats on the Road :-)

Edit: You have probably thought of this but, your vac packer may have trouble with sucking up too much fine powder if you don't have the powder in a ziplock or something. I'd guess you are trying to get all the air out of the powder and a Ziplock would block that goal. Just a thought. If there is a filter inside? or something that the powder can clog up? That last bit of sucking on a bag of powder can really be dirty. You probably also know that you need to keep pressing the sealer after the light goes out for a few seconds for maximum sealing effectivness.

this review is posted in newbie forums (doesn't have 50 posts yet). Also, they smell like porcini because the grow out of wood like porcini. They don't have the same smell as cubensis because cubensis grows out of cow shit, not wood chips.

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=167134.0

"Ok, never tried cyanescens before. They have a really unique and enjoyable smell/taste, kinda reminds me of dried porcini mushrooms. Anyway, 1 gram caught me off guard, I'd say it's equivalent to a little over two grams of good cubensis. Aside from potency, I found there are some subtle differences in the trip as well. The come-up seems to be somewhat longer, about 1.5 hours vs 1hr for cubensis in my experience, and somewhat smoother and less panic-inducing, which is nice. The duration was also a bit longer for me, 3hrs vs 2hrs, from peak to end. It also seems to be more 'direct' if that makes any sense...cleaner in a way. There are definitely some heavy emotional portions of the trip and there's some time distortion, as with cubensis, but in a way that allows you to keep a slightly better grip on reality and sanity. Being outside is intense and exhilarating, and sometimes frightening, the surroundings really come alive. As I was sliding into the trip, I was leaning against a downed tree, absorbed by the pattern cast by the light filtering through the leaves onto the trunk, when a chipmunk ran up my body and across my face. Very startling. He ran up a nearby tree and started chirping at me, which was really cool to look at, they move so fast...but I understood. I left his territory to trip elsewhere, haha. Anyway, I highly recommend these. 1 gram is a perfect calibration dose. 2 grams should be really interesting, hope to try at some point. This is a great product and a great vendor. He's got professionalism and best practices in spades, and has a really friendly and sincere presence as well. Thank you cyanspore."

Post by: cyanspore on 05 June 2013, 01:33:22
I got my first confirmation that my cyanescens are 'far stronger than the psilocybe azurescens offered here on Silk Road'. However this is over on BMR and you can see that here in my profile-feedback

http://5onwnspjvuk7cwvk.onion/index.php?p=viewUser&id=166446

This is not to say that azurescens are not stronger than cyans because they are, but ONLY when fresh. Scientifically, psilocybe azurescens is closely related to psilocybe cyanescens and was actually named cyanescens variant before it was officially named in the 90's

so yes they are a different species than cyans and have shown mating incompatibility with spore and hyphae growth

The problem is that both cyanescens and azurescens (and p allenni) only occur in late fall and early winter in the pacific northwest and they can't be grown indoors like cubensis. This means you have to store it under vacuum or else they will lose potency after a few months. The rate of loss is about 5-10% per month without vacuum storage. If it is stored in vacuum, the loss is less than 1% per month. This means that during summer, 6 months out from the harvest season, the difference between vacuum and non vacuum storage gets more obvious and the longer the summer goes on, the more obvious the difference gets until the season starts again in November and new fresh ones can be picked

Liberty caps is the species that has the slowest loss of potency without vacuum and some recent discoveries have shown 100 year old dried psilocybe semilanceata with trace amounts of active indoles. Almost no other psilocybe species can go that many years and still have tiny trace amounts left

So the psilocybe azurescens may have started out stronger back in December, but if it wasn't kept in vacuum, it's not likely to be nearly as strong anymore, 6 months later. This is something us pros have known for a long time now and it's become sort of mandatory to get it into a vacuum jar right after they were dried back in december

Vacuum is about the only way a hunter like me can do this all year long. Many years ago before we discovered vacuum, we always tried to get rid of it before February and March before they got too weak. These days it's no hurry with a good vacuum. And not just any foodsaver will do it either. You need a really strong vacuum that sucks hard, and those are hard to get unless you pay a few hundred dollars these days

It's all oxygen. You have to remove as much oxygen as possible for long term storage. Month to month is generally ok without vacuum, but longer than that, you need equipment

Hey Cyan, I've already experienced the wonders of your cyanescens. Wow, I've never had such a great experience in my life!

I have a friend in Hawaii who is excited to try your shrooms. You seem very knowledgeable about the whole mushroom culture, so have you heard anything about shipping them to places like Hawaii that have controlled ecosystems? I'm a little worried they bio-scan their mail, but I haven't heard anything either way. If you know anything, would you mind posting here or on my OP? http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=170458.0

Thanks so much! Look forward to getting him tripping balls.
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 09 June 2013, 14:59:59
I actually know of one report where psilocybe cyanescens was cultivated in hawaii, but this is at a high elevation in a fairly narrow strip that gets cold enough at night for a couple of weeks. I think around 9000 feet

Otherwise, psilocybe cyanescens will not grow in Hawaii because it's too warm. Panaeolous cyanescens grows natural in hawaii but that is a different tropical species

since the packages are vacuum, it's not likely to show up on a bioscan and the only thing that could contaminate hawaii is the spores. Basically the spores of mushrooms travel worldwide in the air currents and jet stream anyway and any mushroom that could grow in hawaii has already done so

to put it an even better way, most of the psychedelic species ONLY grow where humans themselves have made disturbances, whether it be domestic animals and cows and sheep, or tree cutting and wood chips. You will almost never find psilocybin mushroom growing wild in virgin forest where humans have never been

so in terms of contamination, it's humans themselves that contaminate and this human contamination allows psychedelics to grow. This is different than most other wild life and plants that could upset ecological balances because psychedelic mushrooms are already a niche and directly related to human activity in the first place

It would be near impossible for psilocybe cyanescens spores to invade virgin Hawaiian rainforest and displace wild mushrooms there. The only way one could get it to grow is to import hard wood chips (apple, walnut, pine, alder) and make a bed at high elevation where it gets cold enough. They simply will not grow in a Hawaiian rainforest without human intervention

allright!. finally some postings after a few weeks of silence, and thank you very much. I think this is now the longest stretch of vending so far with all 5/5 reviews, more than a month

we got 4 months till the season starts again, and still plenty of stock left and it's right on track to being able to make it year round with these for the first time in history

some people have asked if i could send them whole. Of course I could if I sent larger packages, but i can't do that, so it has to be powdered-strictly for the stealth. If it was easier to send them whole I would do it that way

But here's a photo of what they look like dry and whole

It's not much to look at, but you can see it's obviously not cubensis.

Post by: cyanspore on 07 July 2013, 15:56:16
thanks, and I hope to stay doing this as long as possible because this is my life long expertise. my other normal career became obsolete so now I'm dependent on this

psilocybe cyanescens isn't going anywhere on the west coast. In fact it's spreading every year. There's more landscaping every year, more wood chips, as people go 'green' and use less chemicals to control weeds. It's renewable. and the only real problem is finding new patches, and that's what hunting is all about The only other real problem is the logistics of getting it out to you people, and that's not the easiest thing to do and stay safe

Psilocybe cyanescens has likely spread to many areas on the west coast much more than anyone has realized. Currently we are in the 2nd year of drought, relative to past years. 2009-2010 was a wet year and big hauls were documented and if that happens again I could drop the price for awhile but nobody will know until maybe December/January if it happens this coming season

I imagine with the success of this for the first time on Silk Road lasting this long, there might be some other hunters showing up in October when the season starts again. which is fine because there's enough demand to cover probably 10 more vendors/hunters---In fact, here's an early warning. During the season starting in October I will be less available and probably will stay in stealth until February because I need the time to go hunting and can probably only do a few orders a day. I might do restrictions like only 5-10 grams, no more 1 gram orders during the season. Those 1 gram orders take up a lot of time and is currently more than half of the orders. I haven't figured it out yet, but I just need more time during the season to go hunting

As long as you can verify that it actually is cyanescens, and trust the hunter/vendor (with feedback and all that), then it should be fine. There are places you can get this tested, but I forgot where. I think some universities will do it for a fee, and if anyone once to test it, go right ahead, but it should be a random sample and I don't want to know about it until after the results come back. You can find out where to get it tested easily enough

The one thing I'm proud of is getting many people familiar psilocybe cyanescens who never had it before. It DOES exist, and it's unmistakable and fraud proof if you have some experience with it, even in powdered form. You can't really fake the smell/feel/taste quality and quality of the trip if you're experienced with it

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only chance we have. This is the ONLY thing that is relatively safe, natural and wild and renewable and will always be there and it can't be stopped. It is the ONLY thing where you don't have to depend on other suppliers like chemicals or growing weed or even cubensis. There's no equipment involved, no precursor chemicals, nothing . The only thing required is time and travel. The mushrooms themselves are free. What you're really paying for is the labor, the time and travel expenses to get out there and hunt. And this is true for any mushroom hunter in the wild, like edibles like morels and chantrelles. Those are free too (with some permits) but you're actually paying for the labor and the travel expenses. It's a lot of work, and good exercise, and costs money to travel, and that's pretty much all it is. They might be able to stop hunters, but they can't ever stop the mushroom itself

and that's the beauty of it

Chemical in Magic Mushrooms, Psilocybin, May Help People With PTSD Overcome Fear
Some people with PTSD use medical marijuana to treat their symptoms, but the chemical psilocybin could be a better treatment if it's proven to combat fear conditioning in human trials.
By Anthony Rivas | Jul 06, 2013 04:49 PM EDT


Tagspost-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, mushrooms, psychedelic

Normally, the thought of magic mushrooms in relation to people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) would conjure images of the person freaking out from their fears taking shape in hallucinations. But researchers have just found that low doses of the psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms, known as psilocybin (PSOP), may be able to help people overcome their fears at a faster rate.

    (Photo : Wikimedia Commons ) Small doses of the compound, psilocybin, which is derived from magic mushrooms may be the next form of treatment for PTSD if they're proven useful in combating fear conditioning

The study, conducted on mice, could have implications for humans suffering from PTSD. Researchers from the Lieber Institute for Brain Development wanted to see how PSOP affected the brain's learning and removal of a conditioned fear response.

They injected mice with PSOP, saline — as the control — and ketanserin, which counteracts the receptor that binds PSOP in the brain. The mice were put into a testing chamber where they were conditioned to become fearful of a 15-second audio cue, which was followed 30 seconds later by brief electric shocks through the floor. After the researchers did this 10 times, with about three minutes in-between each shock, all of the animals had become feaful of the sound cue, and would freeze upon hearing it.

The next day, the mice were put back in the chamber, but although the cue would sound, there was no shock that followed. The researchers wanted to wean the mice out of being scared by teaching them that the sound no longer meant a shock. After only three sounds of the cue, the mice treated with the low doses of PSOP — low enough for them to avoid hallucinations — were able to stop freezing upon hearing the cue. Mice that were given higher doses of PSOP, or the ketanserin, froze until the tenth trial, and mice given the control continued to freeze after the tenth trial.

While the researchers aren't exactly sure why the PSOP was able to stop the mice from freezing so fast, they say it could be because the drug is able to modify and control neural circuits. The mice that received low doses of PSOP also showed higher rates of brain cell growth, or neurogenesis.

"At the low doses of PSOP that enhanced extinction, neurogenesis was not decreased, but rather tended toward an increase," they wrote. "Extinction of 'fear conditioning' may be mediated by actions of the drugs at sites other than hippocampus such as the amygdala, which is known to mediate the perception of fear."

In other words, PSOP seemed to promote growth of new brain cells that helped erase memories, including those of the fear response.

"Memory, learning, and the ability to relearn that a once threatening stimuli is no longer a danger absolutely depends on the ability of the brain to alter its connections," Dr. Briony Catlow, lead author of the study, told Real Clear Science. "We believe that neuroplasticity plays a critical role in psilocybin accelerating fear extinction"

Because PTSD is believed to arise from similar fear conditioning, Dr. Catlow believes that using PSOP in humans with PTSD could be a possible treatment. The disorder affects almost 7.7 million adults in the U.S., and according to a 2006 analysis of military records from the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study, 15 to 19 percent of Vietnam veterans experienced PTSD at some point after the war. With regards to the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, of the 1.7 million soldiers who served, 20 percent have been diagnosed with PTSD.

well, it's kind of normal for that type of packaging if it's labelled right. I mean so it goes automated quicker. Can't say too much more, but it's sort of a trial and error to see what works better

BTW, we're at the 3 month mark now, 3 months until the season starts, so this is traditionally the driest part of the year for psilocybe cyanescens

I do believe I'm now the very first person to have them this far into summer, but I'll be in stealth mode a bit more often now. stock is still OK, but getting lower and can't be replenished until the rainy season in October and then the cycle starts all over again :D

Who knows, maybe it'll rain a whole lot this upcoming season and there will be lots. This is the second year of drought in the west coast. It goes in cycles

If it is a wet year 2013-2014 I'll bet there will be a few other people here vending some cyanescens around November/December. There already has been cyanescens vendors here going back to 2011, but they only lasted a month or two and just ran out. There are hundreds if not thousands of hunters all over the Pacific Northwest each season looking for these. Many people find small amounts, enough for personal use. There's even famous city parks in Seattle that get torn up every year they are so well known

It takes a lot of work to get much more than personal amounts. Many hours of hunting. Many moons. Good legs. Good eye sight. Gotta eat your carrots cause they like to hide deep inside the bushes

I recently bought a small order from cyanspore in order to have my first tripping experience. This guy is great. He always responds to messages even after the order was finished and he helped me get started. The product itself was good although it was the only one I've ever had so it's hard to compare. I figure I would give my trip experience so you guys can decide on your own how good it was.

I did a lot of preparation for my first trip. I read a ton of trip reports and did a lot of research on the effects. I asked cyanspore how much I should take since he would know the most about his product and he suggested about .5-1 gram for the first time, at the time I decided I would go for .75 grams. Anyways, here's where the story starts:



I had a good friend who was going to be my trip sitter when we got the chance to take them even though he's never done shrooms himself. I knew he was going to be a horrible trip-sitter but he was my absolutely only option so I just had to settle. The night of we ended up going to his friends place because that friend had done shrooms twice although he had a bad trip both times because he had too much. He told me it was scary and everything but I had already been too set on doing it that I wasn't going to go back now, although I did have some anxiety. I ended up doing .2 grams at first and drank them in some water with one of those kool-aid packets. About an hour later I decided that was a sissy dose so I did another .25 and that was good enough to get me to a low Level 2. We ended up watching a bunch of YouTube videos on his xbox. Stuff like prank calls was fun then we turned to watching trippy music videos. After awhile the guy that knew about shrooms got tired so my trip-sitter who was straight by now as he only smoked some weed and hookah drove us back to my end of town. Driving in the car is an amazing experience, especially with the windows down. We ended up going to the park to throw Frisbee and lie down and look at the stars. After awhile we came back to my house where we watched Family Guy until he went to bed then I just stared at the mute TV because I couldn't fall asleep. Overall it was a pretty good experience despite some occasional feelings of anxiety that I managed to quell myself before it got too out of hand.



Sorry for the boring story as I'm certainly no author, just wanted people to be able to gauge how much of an effect these shrooms have for themselves. Overall I would say it is a fun experience to try sometime. I look forward to gradually increasing my dosage. To any first-timers out there, if it's a small dose and you don't have a trip-sitter, music can be a great trip-sitter. In fact, if you know your trip-sitter is going to be bad, I'd say you're better off without one. Just do your research to know what to expect but also know that you can't truly understand the feel from reading trip reports or descriptions, it's just something you have to know. I wanna finish with a quote I like, unfortunately I can't remember who it's by. The quote is, "How can you know sobriety without even experiencing intoxication?" It's really the only way I know how to explain what can only be experienced.

I recently bought a small order from cyanspore in order to have my first tripping experience. This guy is great. He always responds to messages even after the order was finished and he helped me get started. The product itself was good although it was the only one I've ever had so it's hard to compare. I figure I would give my trip experience so you guys can decide on your own how good it was.

I did a lot of preparation for my first trip. I read a ton of trip reports and did a lot of research on the effects. I asked cyanspore how much I should take since he would know the most about his product and he suggested about .5-1 gram for the first time, at the time I decided I would go for .75 grams. Anyways, here's where the story starts:

SO glad you had an awesome experience! I too would like to testify that these mushrooms are VERY POTENT! I did 1.5 grams this past weekend and I went somewhere, somewhere no one should ever go...

0.5-1 Gram was a good recommendation for this particular mushroom.

Post by: cyanspore on 01 August 2013, 01:33:53
Yes, thank you for that. It is true that for many people smaller amounts is more enjoyable, myself included.. Usually it's the first part or the come up that has the most anxiety and after a couple hours it smooths out

It really does help people to start at the basic minimum so it doesn't scare people. That's mostly what turns people off of mushrooms is they take too much the first time. Once you have the first .5 to 1 gram, then you'll know much better what you can handle. It's much better this way to take it one small step at a time and be patient, and it gets more respect instead of trying to 'heroic' dose people the first time on a level 5

Very glad it worked out and you enjoyed it. Thanks!

I ordered a gram of cyanescens to begin my experience with mushrooms (or any psychadelics). I am a bit of a lightweight at around 130 lbs, so many may have to take more to experience the same effects as I did, but wow that one gram was really intense. Objects were dancing and waving, colors were significantly enhanced and brightened, tactile sensations felt amazing and soft and I felt as though I were about to just melt into a puddle. I experienced intense waves of euphoria and laughing fits for the 30 minutes or so of the trip, which then turned to intense introspective thoughts and emotions. As the trip was peaking I started to get a bit hot and sweaty and I felt a few times like I was on the verge of losing control, but I managed to keep myself calm and wait out the trip until I was sober again.

All in all it was a very positive experience, I would just warn people to be conservative with the dosage as I can see how shrooms can be scary for people who take too much. I'll probably place another order soon, and try half a gram for a more mellow trip.

Post by: cyanspore on 20 August 2013, 14:36:36
thank you for that. I think it's still clear enough for most people that 1 gram is standard and many people feel it with .5 gram, and this is what I have on the listing

I get some feedback saying 1 gram is not enough, so it's really hard to find get a middle ground since people are different, or have different expectations. But at least once you have that first gram, then you'll know much better where you stand with it

Hey if you're interested, the northern hemisphere wild magic mushrooms season has begun!. It usually starts at the end of summer in the far north, all the way to the arctic circle in places like Iceland, northern Finland, Russia where there is cattle and sheep grazing, and this would be the famous liberty cap (psilocybe semilanceata)

You can keep up with international wild magic mushroom hunting trends and lots of photos at the Shroomery.org HUNTING BOARD *CLEARNET*

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/3

Look for the UK Liberty cap thread and also the Norway liberty cap thread. It usually starts in the colder north like Scotland and the highlands and then goes further south as it gets colder as winter approaches in October

There is a possibility I could get some liberty caps from the west coast this year if I take a little vacation and go traveling. They are quite potent by dry weight and similar to cyanescens in potency, but have different alkaloids for different type of trip. Many people say the liberty caps make you laugh more, while cyanescens is more straightforward trippy without the belly laughing rolling on the floor till your stomach hurts

I love hunting and really wish I could go to England, iceland, and Europe and travel more around. Unfortunately the season on the west coast USA happens almost the same time as Europe _late summer to early winter, so there isn't much time to do it all

But it's fascinating and a really long tradition of hunting. It's great to get out there and roam the country side. Get some fresh air

latest feedback

"They smell diff. from regular shrooms! I thought it was my MDA i ordered for a minutes lmfao, Came in about 3or 4 days. Looks good, can't wait to try them ^_^"

Finally somebody with a nose who can tell the difference. Yes it is true and also for a previous post about the taste > they do smell and taste different than your normal cubensis mushrooms most people are used to

they are a completely different species and they grow out of wood chips, not rice cakes and cow patties like cubensis. This is why they taste and smell different although they still do have a somewhat bitter taste, it's not as bad as cubensis

welcome to the cyanescens experience! It's like the Jimi Hendrix Experience but different. hehe. 'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky. It's a whole different category of mushrooms than what most people can grow

BTW, You're all fantastic!. I see some of the problems other vendors have and shroom people simply outshine the rest :)
Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 25 August 2013, 16:22:29
Because of a question on the new listing forum about mid identification of species I've included the following information regarding how to verify authenticity of species of mushrooms (scientifically speaking, this is the ONLY way to verify a species of mushroom after it has been dried, regardless if it's whole or powdered---the only other way is chemical analysis or DNA/RNA sequencing)

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/discussion/item/41b3079fd8

these are the spores of psilocybe cyanescens (clearnet) scientific website

http://mushroomobserver.org/119071?q=1RzcH

anyone with a 1000x microscope can look at any one of my samples and verify it this way. This is also the way to confirm species identification with whole mushrooms, including dried whole mushrooms of any species

The only vendors who will not have spores are those who vend mycelium or galindoi stones. Because there is no fruiting involved, there will be no spores. Only those vendors who include the entire fruiting body, cap included, will have spores, regardless if it's whole or powdered. The presence of spores authenticates that the entire fruiting body was included, including the caps and gills

This is one of the primary means of mushroom identification for ALL species of mushroom


This is because of the new discussion system on the main listing, and in my case, one single person wants me to send them whole. i can't send them whole because i cannot get postage for packages here and stay anonymous. But even if I could it woudn't do any good because psilocybe cyanescens do not look like your regular cubensis and only another expert like myself would recognize them  dry, because they must be dried, and when they are dried they lose many of their identifying characteristics

Therefore, the only way one could verify them is with a microscope, even if they are whole. The only other way is to send them to a lab (dried or powdered, doesn't matter), which anyone could do, but it's usually not cheap

Therefor, the only thing that i have is the feedback here and in the listings, which has all been great. If somebody isn't going to believe the feedback and my ability to correctly identify each and every one, then there isn't much I can do

Anyway, this new discussion on the main listing site seems to be upsetting a lot of vendors now for pretty much the same reason. In my case it's just been one person who never ordered anything from me before

what can you do?..I can tell you I am a lifelong expert in these mushrooms. I'm a pro. Extremely unlikely to make any mistakes

price has been restored to 15 dollars even after months at 16.48

the season has started in Washington and Vancouver BC and I might have direct competition soon. I still have quite a bit left and still at 95% potency kept under vacuum so i'm hoping to get rid of some more before the season picks up in late October

Once the season starts I might be in stealth mode for 3-4 months and restrict sales in some way (maybe only 5-10 grams) because I will need more time to go hunting and can't sit around all day and do 1 gram orders :P

Anyway, you have an early warning in terms of the psilocybe cyanescens season which is coming soon. I will adjust prices accordingly in order to get rid of most of the remaining stock before the season gets heavy here

Once the actual season gets busy, I will be busy hunting. I'll only have an hour or 2 to deal with this each day, regardless of sales or no sales. Hunting comes first and a hunter must hunt while it's in season so we can all have them the rest of the year :)

The best guess right now depending on where it is on the west coast and what the weather will be like > we have between 2 weeks and 2 months before the season gets busy. For the same reason, the season will end between mid december and february

so the clock is ticking now

I had been wanting to try this species for awhile. Placed an order and received last week. I found .5 gm to provide a nice trip.

I washed it down with some juice. Felt the effects start to kick in within 20 minutes. At 30-45 minutes sounds began to distort and I felt stimulated. At 60 minutes I could feel waves of energy and euphoria, and had some visuals and peaked between 2-3 hours. Could feel mild effects after 4-5 hours. I'd say the effects were comparable to ~2 gm of P. cubensis.

Just ordered more and looking forward to my next trip.

Cyanspore is the best! Stealth was perfect and the shipment was fast!

1 gram gave me amazing open and closed eye visuals with some mind-blowing euphoria. I was giggling and amazed at how great I felt!

Absolutely no nausea and a smooth comedown. Will be back for more of the best mushrooms on SR!

back online after a few days of actually enjoying the fruits of my labors :)

got a PM review and wanted me to post this----------------------

------------------------------------------------

Hey! I can't leave a review in the thread proper because I have less than 50 posts but these were amazing so I have to say something.

I ordered one gram on Monday (Labor day) and it arrived on Thursday, there must have been a glitch in the matrix because I've never had something show up that quickly before. I opened it up, took a tiny pinch between my thumb and forefinger and after about an hour I had a surprisingly nice body high/"buzz"; I hadn't even expected to feel anything at all from such a small amount so it was then that I knew these were going to be great!

I enjoyed the light high for a couple of hours until my friend got off work, she had never tripped before so I wanted to share some with her. She gets nervous about trying new drugs so she asked for a slightly more than threshold dose. I split the rest up to approx 75% for myself and 25% for her. I don't have a scale so I can't account for the missing weight from the earlier pinch but it's negligible. ROA was simply powder quickly mixed in water and downed. Still tastes gross but it beats eating 3gs of dried cubensis.

I started feeling effects after about 20 minutes, I spent much of the trip laying in bed with my friend watching Oddsac on my projector and listening to Arca. I was very deep into my own world after 2 hours, eye closed, floating around my mind with beautiful and vivid CEVs and "minds eye" imagery. I would close my eyes and "feel" like I was in a dim, cave-like palace, with water falls and small pools. Kinda similar to the Zora's in Ocarina of Time, but empty and shadowy dark blues and black. Very relaxing and at the same time quite a mindfuck. Lots of sensory blending which was also fun.

At some point my sister invited us to smoke weed with her so we did, her boyfriend turned on "Off The Air" and I spaced out to that for about and hour, mentally dissecting the videos as I'm watching them. All the while just occupying a really amazing mind/body atmosphere, if that makes sense.

Eventually my friend leaves and I return to my room, shut the lights off and turn the music on and laid in bed. I'm not sure how long I laid there but everything just felt so amazing and calm. I can't speak for my friends experience too much other than to say she loved it and wants to try them again at a higher dose.

I typically dose 3.5 of cubensis and ~0.75 cyans was almost equivalent to that. Incredible!

I had some pretty irritating muscle spasms the whole time but I -do not- blame it the the mushroom or chemical directly, as its also happened during my last 2 LSD experiences, and, to a much lesser extent, happens with marijuana. I periodically did some stretching and felt better but this trip drilled into my head that I need to start taking better care of my body and I've been taking steps toward that goal.

Overall, a 5/5 experience and I won't be using any other shroom vendors, or strains for that matter, so long as cyanspore sticks around. Thank you and I can't wait to share some of the magic with my friends!    1 day    read

cyanescens follows the same seasonal pattern as liberty caps, but it's different habitat. The west coast and Vancouver had a long drought this summer so it'll take a few extra squirts from Mr and Ms Cloud to get it started

my SR review:
Quote
Took 3 days to get to the East Coast, packaged very well. Ate some breakfast not too long before taking ~1.07 g of these and then redosing with ~0.5 g one hour later. I weigh about 160 lbs. Wasn't as potent as I was expecting, probably due to the food, but still had a blast. Effects lasted ~4-5 hours after first dose. Lots of euphoria, laughter, and impressive visual effects. I also have only done 1.5 g of cubensis once half-a-year ago. Will definitely buy again.

I'd also like to ask, I did some MDMA the day before, and it was very effective. Could that have diminished the effects of the shrooms?
Oh and cyanspore, I ordered 10 grams, you're sure there was a bonus 2 g added right? I haven't weighed it all out, but I trust you didn't forget :)
I can't wait for the fresh batch after you go shroom-hunting again!

Post by: cyanspore on 30 September 2013, 00:26:04
yes you can count it out, 1 gram = 1 teaspoon level, so there should be 12 teaspoons

also yes, if you do mdma or any psychedelic the day before it probably will affect it and not be as strong. You build up a cross tolerance with psychedelics

to get the full effect you should be clean for 1 week...You can't do these shrooms every day either unless it's 'microdosing' at .10 gram or something really small. Anything larger like a full gram and you'll build up  tolerance if you do it more than once a week

It's not addicting or anything, but you won't feel it as much if you take it every day

Title: Re: cyanspore reviews - psilocybe cyanescens
Post by: cyanspore on 30 September 2013, 00:36:18
yeah 1 gram is standard for everyone for the first time. A few people that is a little too much but they always make it through OK

This is one of the reasons for the powder instead of whole shrooms because these shrooms come in different sizes, anything from .10 gram to more than 2 grams for a single mushroom, so whole cyanescens is harder to get accurate dosage than with powder

with powder, you just need a scale or a teaspoon. 1 teaspoon = 1 gram

Of course, with experienced ravers and especially those who do a lot of molly, they might need more like 2 grams. But 1 gram is the standard starting point, and then whoever does 1 gram will know much better how much for the next time


that's part of the problem with these is that everyone is different, different histories and tolerance, etc. All we can do is set a standard and each person then knows where to go from there. There just isn't any shortcuts. It takes a little patience and work on your end to figure out what is right for you

also, btw, big storms pounding the pacific northwest right now and the first cyanescens pins are starting to pop. It's starting and within a couple weeks thousands of people will be hunting all over, unless it really dries up

we're right on track!

there's cross tolerance on all the psychedelics. I found this in one of the listings for LSZ

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/64d3644f6a

"LSZ, as with any psychedelic, will not effect you if you are on benzos or SSRIs. Do not take LSZ the same week you have previously used another psychedelic or you can expect severely diminished effect due to cross-tolerance."

That's all true. I noticed that speed freaks won't feel shrooms much at all. Probably because their serotonin is all drained. Lots of other drugs can affect psychedelics. That's part of the problem of why sometimes people don't feel it much. Too much beer can affect it. Well, too much beer can affect anything, actually...LOL.

Weed can go either way, slow it or enhance it

But basically you should be clean for about a week, or reasonably clean

so sorry to hear about DPR and I hope he sees some freedom  some day

 I am still on BMR and was one of the few vendors to be cross certified via BMR-SR internal PM verification as being the same vendor. The legacy now is the little Silk Road camel icon under my screen name on the vendor page on BMR. There is indeed a little piece of SR still left on BMR. This was worked out months ago between DPR and admins on BMR

just remember this. They can take down some people sometimes, but they can never take down these mushrooms because they grow wild in peoples landscaping. The nature of mushrooms is the more they try to stop it, the more there is because anyone who comes into close contact with live mushrooms becomes a carrier, infected with spores and will spread the spores for weeks, never even knowing it

this is how mushrooms spread, by using birds, animals and humans and the wind to spread themselves and reproduce. People can't stop it any more than they can stop the weather

see ya around and enjoy mother nature at her finest  :)
